She is here!
Eloise joined us on April 4th, 2025. Thank you for all your prayers!
God granted us a wonderful experience and a healthy baby. Noemi's recovery has exceeded our expectations and she was well assisted by the hospital staff.
Vivi met her sister and was so delicate with her! We pray they will grow happily together as our family serves the Lord.
Consider walking with us monthly
One of, if not the biggest challenge we have to transition to Romania is to raise our monthly support. We would like to consider moving by the end of July, or as soon as the visa is granted. God is blessing us many opportunities to share our vision in Brazil, but due to the low currency value, we are still trying to meet the goal of 1500 Euros that will secure our transition and ensure we can cover expenses.
Would you consider walking with us monthly? Any amount will make a difference. We recognize many of you already do, and we would like to ask if you could also consider sharing this vision with others? Please let us know if we can send any additional materials to help you share about our ministry.
Since we first started this walk of faith moving from our hometown to the Bible Seminary in 2017, to the Philippines in 2022, and during the itinerant 2024, God has given us amazing and faithful brothers and sisters who have been serving with us.
Now as a family of 4, we want to continue and to grow, specially investing in the development of young leaders and focusing on Youth Mobilization. It makes all the difference to know there are so many of you who believe in this vision and are always ready to support it as it grows.
Workshop with the Aussie team
In March we run the Youth Mobilization Workshop with some of the leaders of the SM team in Australia. It is heartwarming to have leaders from different generations reach out and start healthy conversations about their youth culture and how they want to move forward working collaboratively with younger generations.
We invite you to pray for them as they invest in mobilizing all generations in Australia. Pray for young leaders to be inspired by their commitment and passion, as well as for the courses and trainings they have scheduled this year.
Preaching and Teaching
Praise God for more opportunities to share these last few months. Caleb preached in 3 different churches just a week after Eloise was born. We were so sure she would come on Easter that we over-scheduled for the week before. We are very thankful for the opportunities. Knowing our time in Brazil is limited, we want to make the most of it.
One of the topics he chose to speak was on how it is through faith we are invited to live on mission with God. He shared on how our faith, just like Abraham's, is to be (1) obedient without full knowledge of the situation, (2) based on His word despite impossible circumstances, (3) like a foreigner longing for eternity, and (4) sacrificial trusting on God's provision. It couldn't be more appropriate for our own lives and how it has been challenging but delightful to learn and walk with Him.
Prayer Focus
Pray for our time in Brazil. We had to rent a car and an apartment while in the country and it has raised our expenses considerably.
Pray for Vivian and Eloise to grow healthy and in grace. Pray for their friendship, for them to increase in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52)
Pray for the partners who already walk with us in this faith journey, and for the ones who will join. Pray for our financial support as we need to increase 30% monthly by June before relocating to Romania.
Pray for our transition to Romania. Pray for the team there who will be welcoming us, for the approval of the religious visa and for our traveling plans.
