It has been a while since I posted an update of where we are in the process of getting to Brazil.  On Thursday, November 12, the Board of Elders at LifePoint decided that Kari and I really need to find a sending agency rather than the church attempting to do something that it’s not set up to do.  So last Friday we began the process of finding an organization to work with.  Currently it looks like we may be partnering with an organization called PIONEERS.  We are working through the application process and will know in the next few weeks whether or not this is the direction we will choose to take.  We sure appreciate your prayers in this process, and we will keep you posted as we have more information.
