We´re Parents!


Our son is on the way! Ana is now four months along. She and the baby are doing so well. All tests and ultrasounds up to this point have come back showing only good health- this is only from the Lord! His steadfast love is new every morning! Here are the images from the last ultrasound. In the upper left image he is putting his right hand up to his mouth! Ana has moved out of the morning sickness phase and into an insomnia phase, so please pray that she will return to getting a good night’s sleep, or at least a night’s sleep. Also, pray for our son that he continues to grow as the Lords so desires. Also for us as parents- that we will be the parents the Lord wants and calls us to be. Also pray for Ana´s tourist visa process as we plan to go to the States in October of this year!

New Friends

We have been reaching out to some of Ana´s college friends Jefferson and Grasiela. We had them over for dinner and got on the subject of American sports. I tried my best to explain the rules of baseball. Please pray that the Lord will transform these precious hearts into Kingdom hearts.

Theology Course for Church Members

We have concluded the first semester in the two semester theology course for church members. In an attempt to now God more fully we read his Word and discuss topics such as hermeneutics, anthropology, sin, redemption, and history of the church.

Community Therapy and Theology Course

Every Tuesday at the halfway house we have a time of community therapy for those guys to share what is on their heart- strengths, weaknesses, hardships and happiness. After the community therapy I teach a theology course to those who have been there for more than three months. The recommended stay for complete recuperation is 9 months.

Father´s Day 09


August 8th was Father´s Day in Brazil. So we had a cookout for the dads in our house church and invited the Wehrplotz house church to join us.

Westover Campaign 09

Our sponsoring church, Westover Hills, came to Porto Alegre to visit us, our work and to put on a VBS for a local school, as well as complete a paint project for a local day-care. Following are just a few shots from their encouraging stay with us.
