Dear Friends and Family,

As always, thank you for your prayers and support. They are greatly appreciated.

These last few months have been super busy, very tiring, but tremendously fruitful and fun. It has been great to watch our church continue to grow. We also are continuing to see new people choosing to follow Jesus. And little Jonas is growing and getting around far more easily.

These blessings all bring new challenges. As our church grows and new people choose to follow Jesus, it requires us to develop new systems for pastoral care and the need to train more leaders!

Also, as Jonas grows and gets around more easily, which of course is a joy, our little guy really keeps Denise and me on our toes trying keeping up with him. (We love being parents!)

Just this month, we also had the opportunity to host a team led by my brother JT from our home church, Vineyard Church Delaware County. We had so much fun spending time with the team – and my brother . Their ministry and relational investment were a great blessing to the churches they visited.

The day after the team left, we took a line boat (the equivalent of a Greyhound Bus on the Amazon River) to a city 300 miles away. We are attending Intervinha, the yearly conference for all the Vineyards in Northern Brazil. When we return, we will be ready for some rest!

Below are some pictures of our time from the team from VCDC.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for wisdom in pastoring our growing our church.
• Pray grace as Denise and I balance ministry and family life.
• Pray financial provision for the growing needs of our church and family.

We are looking forward to returning to Ohio for furlough beginning in September. It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since we’ve been back. We can’t wait to see many of you then.

Thanks again for your prayers and support. We love hearing from you!

In His Service,

Christopher and Denise
