Hi!
My husband and I pastor a church from our fellowship in Nashville, TN!! We have been here now for 8 years and I recently stumbled across your blog when I was reading about another Pastor in our fellowship pioneering in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The country of Brazil has become very near and dear to our hearts because 2 years ago God brought a young couple with two children into our congregation from Porto Alegra, Brazil. Her name is Aline and she came to the states about 8 years ago for an international business degree and while here she met her husband (who is also from Brazil) and they married and moved to Nashville. They are such a wonderful family and I can see God touching them and helping them. Then recently it was announced that you guys and another couple from the San Antonio Bible Conference, were going to Brazil. I told her and she was so happy! We are praying for you specifically and look forward to following your blog!!
Sincerely,
Joe and Rachel Saenz
