Furlough Travels

During our time reporting to churches in the USA, it feels like we have nothing new or interesting to share now that our two medical emergencies are in the past. However, we cherish your continued prayers and partnership and, therefore, strive to keep in regular contact. We have already traveled through 7 different states and visited 1/3 of our supporting churches. We have meetings scheduled every weekend until Thanksgiving and continue to prepare and plan for our return to Brazil in January.

Our oldest, Robert, has moved to Flushing, MI, for a one-year pastoral residency position at Mayfair Bible Church. Moriah and Julea (senior and freshman) are both studying and living in the dorms at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI. Moriah has also already started classes for her masters degree online. Andrea is homeschooling Levi, and Tim has been granted the use of an “office space” at our home church in Grand Rapids. He continues to coordinate details with our church plant in Brazil and work on preparing for several large projects that he will initiate in the spring. During the week, Tim and Andrea are facilitators for a young, single-adult small group at our home church and also still mentor and communicate with families in Brazil.

Blessed by Partnerships

Our traveling and meetings have been different due to COVID restrictions, but we still thoroughly enjoy and have been encouraged connecting with churches and families that support our ministry.

This year has brought so many challenges and surprises; however, somethings remain the same: God is good. He is enough. All is for HIS glory. We walk by faith, not by sight and are honored to serve.

Thank you for partnering and praying with us!
