Christmas Letter


The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Numbers 6:24-26


This year was very special to us. In the month of January we went to Brazil so Arnie could meet my family, and then we came to the United States so that I was able meet his family.
In July, our wedding was held at the First Bible Baptist Church in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. Pictures are on facebook at:

After that, we spent three months visiting churches in Brazil to try and fulfill our responsibilities for home assignment. Now we are visiting churches in the United States, and we already have our tickets to go back to Mozambique scheduled for January 17th.

We are very grateful to God for all He has done and is doing in our lives, for so many loved ones who have blessed us in many ways in Brazil and here in the USA. Word fail to be enough to praise God for His faithfulness and care demonstrated in so many ways that leave us with a heart overflowing with gratitude.
We know we have many challenges ahead, but in our hearts we hope and pray that God will always be glorified in our lives.

Our plans are to return to Mozambique, stay a few weeks in the city of Nampula, where our mission's office is located and then go to Quelimane, capital of Zambezia in central Mozambique. The Maindo people remain in our hearts, and we will have some meetings with our leaders and colleagues in Mozambique to decide the date to move to Micaune where most of the Maindo people live.
We praise God for His faithfulness and the care shown by those who care so much, pray, and contribute financially in this ministry.

We hope that the glory of God will continue to be reflected in the life of His Church.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
