Travel Week Prayer Request!

Hello Friends and Family, 

We leave Wednesday for Brazil! Thank you all so much for the love and support. Our family feels very well taken care, and sent off well. We appreciate everything that you have done for us, and more importantly, celebrate who you are and your faithfulness to gospel missions. 

Would you please be lifting up the following in prayer:

1.  Pray that there will be no flight delays or missed flights.  

2. We are traveling down with everything we own in suitcases. Please pray that our suitcases arrive when we do, with no issues or damages. 

3. Pray for protection from COVID. We have to test before we leave to enter the country and a positive test would delay our departure. 

4. All of us as we say our final goodbyes and for travel mercy for our kids. Long days and long flights ahead.

For text and phone calls we will use WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a Facebook service that is free and allows us to make text and phone calls over wifi connection. Please download this app if you would like to stay in touch this way. 

You can also reach us via email:

Derek.Blaylock@xingu.org

Amanda.Blaylock@xingu.org

As we expressed in our last newsletter Amanda and I would love very much to continue to engage with you all beyond our newsletters if you would like to!

Save the Date: September 18, 2022 @ 7:00 pm C.S.T.

We will have our first quarterly zoom get together then. Invite and additional details to follow at a later time. We will record these sessions for those that cannot make it. 

Since the last newsletter we have had a ton of folks sign on as prayer partners. If you are new to the newsletter more details about this and our transition are in the video below from our June newsletter.
