Some think twin boys, others think…

Mom of twin girls presenting her TV program, Mais Que Vencedores

I hear there seems to be a guessing game going as to the sex of the babies, not only here in Brazil but also back up north! Well, no need to guess or wonder anymore, because today we went to the doctor for an ultrasound, and she said that we have twin girls! God’s just showing off His goodness now :)

Recently, Ruth has been having so many dreams about boys that she wasn’t quite sure what to expect at all. Both grandmas (Becky and Joanne) went along to the doctor’s office to find out the news the moment it was available. Ruth and her mom are planning on preparing the nursery while I’m away for a month in the States.

My plans for the States are coming together. Here’s how they stand for the moment:

  • Aug 3

    Meeting with Missions Team in Geneseo, IL

  • Aug 5-15 3 Family reunions! (Reutter extended, Reutter and Phillips)
  • Aug 16
  • Visit 1st Free in Moline
  • Aug 23 Visit Crosspoint in Eureka
  • Sep 1 Leave for Brazil

So that’s the skeleton of the plan, and it keeps filling in more. I look forward to seeing so many of you and I am praying for a wonderful time of fellowship with the short amount of time I have. But remember, next year the whole family visits- Lord willing, with our twin girls!!

March for Jesus

The March for Jesus this year in Santarém was huge and powerful. As Santarém is being won for the Lord and the number of Christians grows, so does events like the March. The March had a great turnout, and it’s amazing to see how God is using His church to win a city that even just 50 years ago had a handful of Christians. Take a look at these pictures.
