Happy new year!
As we enter into a new year, our hearts overflow with gratitude for your prayers, encouragement, and faithful support. Looking ahead to 2026, we find ourselves dreaming boldly, prayerfully, and expectantly, allowing God to create and mold our dreams to be about what He wants us to do. We focus our dreams not on comfort but on obeying God and serving the communities we are called to.
Every location is praying for deeper roots in the community God has placed us in, stronger relationships built on trust and love, and opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel through both words and actions. We dream of witnessing lives transformed by the power of Christ at work.
In addition to these shared dreams, each location has specific goals:
The Dolans in Belém are dreaming of securing an ample permanent location to grow and gather as a church.
The Blaylocks in João Pessoa are seeking God’s favor and financial provision for necessary administrative steps. They also dream of baptisms in a specific area, Q1, and the development of leaders in their community.
The Meyers in Macapá are aspiring for better leadership training, planting a new church in the nearby city of Santana, and securing a permanent location for their congregation.
Bob Lesher in Macapá is praying for the building project to go well and for wisdom, safety, timeliness, and unity.
The Wilsons in Palmas are dreaming of more workers, which would lead to a strong local leadership team of disciple-making followers of Jesus.
We recognize that dreams alone are not sufficient. They must be guided by and surrendered daily to the Lord who directs our steps. Proverbs 16:3 (NIV) reminds us, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” We pray that every dream is made better through prayer and rooted in His will.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Your prayers matter more than you know. Please pray with us for God’s favor, wisdom, humility, and courage to continue His work here in Brazil and to open doors that only He can open. With great hope and expectation, we look forward to what God will do this year!
If you follow the work here and would like to partner with one of our missionaries, we invite you to enter into contact with them. They would love to have you as part of their team!
