God's plans

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

The consulate says that they have no new information on our visas.

Thanks for your prayers.

Prayer

Dear friends,
I recently shared with some of you that a friend in Brazil felt led to share Revelation 3:8 with us. We know God has opened the door for us to serve in Brazil. It just has to be in His timing. Monday I will be calling the consulate to check on the visas. If it is time, we are praying for the doors to be opened. If it isn't time, we are praying for the doors to be opened for service here as we wait. Please pray with us!

Revelation 3:8

:) I pray that God has been blessing you all, and that you have been a blessing to someone!
We went to Chicago Tuesday and took the name of the 2nd Brazilian church off of the visa applications. We decided that was the way to go, rather than trying to get the necessary letter from them in Brazil. Now, the people at the consulate said everything will be sent to Brazil, and we can check back in 4 weeks to see if we've been authorized.

A friend in Brazil emailed and said God had touched his heart to share Rev. 3:8 with us: "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." Praise God.
