Dear friends in Christ,

Dara is reading! Our youngest daughter Evelyn Dara started reading this month. The reading magic finally clicked in her head. It’s amazing to watch her discovering the world of letters and words around her!

Furlough in July – Pray we will have a safe, edifying, and connecting time with our spiritual family in Texas. Pray also for our church in São Lourenço, Brazil, as we work hard to develop new servant-leaders.

Bountiful rain – It has rained a lot. The good Lord has supplied well and has heard your prayers. Thank you, folks!

Confederation Cup – have you heard of it? It’s the tournament before the World Soccer Cup. This year and next, Brazil will host both events and one of our brand-new stadiums is just a few miles from our house. First, pray these will be peaceful and safe tournaments. Second, pray authorities will invest the same amount of money in better salaries for our teachers, doctors and nurses, and police officers.
