Brothers and Sisters in Jesus/Family and Friends,
Greetings in the name of Jesus.
I’m late sending this update, but finally getting it done. We are still doing things here, seeking that the Lord will be glorified in our lives. The vision I originally had for here hasn’t happened the way I had hoped, so there were some adjustments to seek that the vision that the Lord has for us will come to pass. (I think that after we are saved, this is the next big issue for us, to understand and fulfill God’s purpose for us here in this life. It’s importante for us to live in relationships with love while we pursue our callings, but there are plans that God can give us.)
I remember in 1986 hearing about the Keith Green memorial concert or returning to this after previously hearing about it. While I was praying, I brought to the Lord something I heard about that concert. I asked the Lord that if there was a place He was sending me to, that He show me clearly at that moment where He was sending me. I had a vision of northern Brazil at the mouth of the Amazon at that moment and the Lord was speaking the word “Belém” to me, which is a city at the mouth of the Amazon River.
I thought that being here would do a lot to establish more clearly what He has for us to do here and how He wants us to do it, but things haven’t happened that way. There have been big challenges and some difficulties, but I’m sure God called me to come here. So I’m asking you to pray that the Lord open the right doors for us here and cause His plan and will for us here to be very clear. By the Lord’s grace, we are faithful to Him. But these years have not been easy. We will seek to be faithful in the things that are clear.
As always, thank you for your prayers and support. As I mentioned last month, the Lord opened doors for a job working here. Praise the Lord. Please continue to pray that we can come into all the will of the Lord, to see His vision fulfilled.
We love you in Jesus.
Joseph, Cristina & Hadassa
