Outreach
It was such a blessing to be with you guys back in June. We enjoyed being able to share our hearts with you about our ministry in Brazil.
We left the States on July 7 for our return trip to Brazil. We thank God for his safety and protection while away from our church family.
Please pray for us as we transition back to Brazilian life. Also, please pray that our building project will continue to move forward and that God would continue to provide the funding we need to finish on time.
Thank you for partnering with us, Andy, Andrea, Levi, & Lily Moore
