Dolan Update – We are back in Brazil!
Hello,
Thank you so much for your continued prayers, love, and generosity in our lives and ministry. Pray you are blessed with this month’s update.
We are now back in Brazil, and I must say, “Were we really in the United States?”. WOW, the time went by so quickly, and we cannot believe we are now back. The adage “time flies when you are having fun” remains alive and active. We had such a great time being with family and friends, but we wish, deep down, we could have savored the moments for a little longer. Below is partial family picture.
Before returning, we had the extraordinary opportunity to attend the USA National Vineyard conference. It was excellent to be there as it allowed us to see friends we ordinarily would not be able to see. It also gave us the opportunity to deepen existing friendships and make new ones as well.
During our trip back, the girls participated in a youth project called “Project Timothy.” Project Timothy’s goal is to inspire, motivate, train, and release a group of young leaders in the Vineyard! During their time, they got to minister at an elderly home. It was very impactful for both Camilly and Alyssa. Elba got to minister to the youth as well. During the National Conference a couple of weeks later, Camilly saw one of the youths from the project, and he asked if Elba was her Mom. She said, “Yes.” He told her that Elba’s prayers for him were powerful and that he cried. Camilly responded, “yea…she makes people cry a lot”. LOL, We thought it was funny. We are thankful God uses us to touch others. We are blessed that it was impactful.
Even though we just got back, we will be hosting a National Vineyard Pastor conference here in Salinas near Belem. We have been working to organize this during our US trip. It starts this Thursday and is the first national conference for our young church planting movement. Please pray for success in every facet. Updates to come.
We appreciate your continued prayers:
· Please pray for the National Pastors conference (August 17th to the 20th)
· Please pray that we will identify the new senior pastor of the Belém church plant.
· Please pray that the Lord will continue to reveal His plans to the church and us.
· Please pray for our church, leadership, and congregation to help people draw close to God as we navigate this time and leadership transition.
· Please pray for our family, especially our girls, in this next phase of our lives.
· Please pray for our spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and financial health.
· Please pray for the rejection of this virus from your loved ones and its eradication.
Much love, Steve, Elba, Camilly, and Alyssa

We went to the Ohio State fair and got a picture with me and my sister Lynn at the lost kids booth. When I was a child, I felt like I lived at this place. LOL 😂
