Hello

We are so grateful for all your prayers and support.  Be blessed with the below email.

Again, thank you so much for all your prayers and support.  It was a blessing to be able to go back to the States to be with family for my Mom memorial.  Thank you!

For the last 3 years, Elba has been working on getting her Master’s degree in missional leadership at Trinity University.  We are very proud of her and her accomplishments.  Especially doing it all online and in English.

Here is a short God story.  Elba was already planning to come to the USA for the graduation by herself because of the cost of airfare.  Before learning of my Mom passing.  Elba woke up in the evening with someone shaking her saying that she was going home.  She thought it was really strange and thought that her own Mom passed away.  She called her Mom and all was OK, so she blew it off.  The next day at church just as we were ending in prayer.  I had a vision of me being at Elba’s graduation.  I thought that would be awesome but finances would not allow for this to happen.  An hour later, we learned of my Mom passing away.  Lo and behold, we went back to the US for my Mom memorial and I got to go to Elba’s graduation.  What a surprise gift from the Lord and my deceased parents for allowing both Elba and me the opportunity to be present at her graduation which was in North Dakota.  It was great a great experience. 

We got home last Sunday and it was great to see the girls.  The girls wanted to come to the USA but they could not miss school. 

Elba preached that night and it was good to back to the church.  This weekend we will be having a couples conference at the church.  Angelita will be leading the conference called Partners or Rivals.  She will be focusing on tools for marriages to help grow together. 

We appreciate your continued prayers:

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. 

Please pray for our family, especially our girls, in this 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
