Update - July '10

Good Morning from the Amazon!  I am writing in the cool of the morning here, enjoying the frequent early morning rain showers.  I don't think it's supposed to be raining this time of year...

This past month has been filled with a flurry of activities and planning for various things, my family and friends that have just arrived, my upcoming August 7th wedding, and Silvia and I's ensuing visit to the US!  But short of a few last minute items for the wedding, we are ready to have a blessed time with my parents and friends!  We plan to relax, see the sights, and check out the mission work on the river.

We covet your prayers as Silvia and I begin our marriage "on the road" so to speak.  We will be honeymooning in the States and then immediately arriving in Illinois to spend some time with my family.  We have two main needs to aid in our travels in the US, a car and a cell phone.  If you or anybody you know would be willing to loan us a car or cell phone from Aug 20 until Oct 14, please contact me.  All of our driving will be around Illinois.

You can catch us in the following locations!  (any changes will be posted here as well)

Aug 19 - 29 Cissna Park, IL

Aug 22 Washington Apostolic Christian Church

Aug 29 Cissna Park Christian Bible Church

Aug 30 - Sep 5 Morton, IL

Sep 5 Bloomington Apostolic Christian Church

Sep 6 - 12 Central IL

Sep 13 - Oct 6 Trip to Africa

Oct 7 - 13 Cissna Park, IL

Oct 14 Depart for Brazil

We look forward to seeing and sharing with many of you during this visit!

For three weeks during this trip, we will be blessed to travel with the directors of Project Amazon and several other missionaries to Africa.  This will be a survey trip for PAZ church planting opportunities in Africa!  We are excited to be a part of the future of PAZ as the Lord directs us to share His Gospel message of truth at the ends of the earth!  If you would like to partner with us on the added expenses of this trip, please check out the Support Update on the right side of my blog!

Praises

- My Bride!

- Continual improving of my ability to communicate in Portuguese

- The immense Harvest of souls taking place in Brazil

- The opportunity to travel to the US and Africa

Prayer Requests

- For a blessed and safe time hosting my family and friends

- For a DRY wedding!  (it is outdoors)

- For our travels to the US, that it would be filled with blessed fellowship with family and friends, and to Africa, the the Lord's vision for PAZ would be laid clearly on our hearts.

Married by Law - Silvia and I had our Civil Wedding on July 23, 2010, so we are technically married, however, we will not officially be married until we do so before the Lord, with family and friends on August 7, 2010.

Trying on some wedding clothes!  Nice and simple.

Abounding in Grace,

JAE
