June 2022 Newsletter from Christopher & Denise Meyer
Dear Friends and Family,
Thanks you so much for your prayers and support. Please let us know if there is any way we can be praying for you!
Like we seem to say every update, things have been a little crazy and busy these last few months. I guess that’s what having a baby, a toddler and pastoring two churches will do to you. 🙂 Below is a quick update on how things are going and some highlights over the last few months.
Visit from my parents
Earlier this month my parents came for a visit. This visit was extremely special, and to be honest, was nothing short of a miracle. As most of you know, my mother has cancer and has had multiple health issues due to this. We had completely let go of the thought of my mom ever visiting us in Brazil again. I guess God had other plans!
What an amazing time we all had together. Having both my parents here, spending time with Jonas and Liam, visiting and participating with our two churches, and just getting a glimpse into our life here in Macapá was so special!

Church Update
Things are going well in both Vineyard Macapá and in Vineyard Viva. We are continuing to grow and have more stability since we reopened 9 months ago. The growth has definitely been a blessing! Unfortunately, the one negative that comes with growth is lack of space. The two churches are in different situations. Vineyard Macapá owns the land it sits on, so we will be raising money to expand the building. We are renting Vineyard Viva’s building, so we are beginning to look for larger buildings to rent. Please pray for wisdom in both of these situations.

New Chapters
For the last few years, Denise and I have been looking to buy a house. This process has been long, and at moments, very frustrating. After years of searching, we think we have found what we had been searching for. With God’s gracious help, we are in the final steps of the purchase of a home. Please pray for us as we navigate these last few steps.
As I mentioned in our last newsletter, we have new missionaries joining us here in Macapá. If all goes well, Derek, Amanda and their 4 kids will be joining us in mid to late July, and will be moving into the house that Denise and I are presently renting. Please keep them in your prayers as they are trying to finish up all their visa requirements.
We appreciate your prayers and support, and love hearing from you.
