Although we are being trained for our future ministry in Brasil, we also know that we can apply most of what&#8217;s being taught even now.<\/p>\n<p>Right now two of the classes we are in are, Phonetics and Teamwork.&nbsp; In Phonetics we are learning the diffrent sounds the human mouth can make.&nbsp; It&#8217;s amazing how the Lord made all the diffrent parts work together for speech.&nbsp; In class we have tried to speak languages from places like China, Africa, Brasil, Mexico and many, many other places.&nbsp; Let me tell you, <span class=\"redText\">it&#8217;s hard!!!!&nbsp; <span class=\"normalText\">God sure did a <em>good job<\/em> when He confused the languages!!!&nbsp; In Teamwork we are learning about a number of things from qualities of good leaders, qualities of good &quot;followers,&quot; to how does a good &#8216;team meeting&#8217; function.&nbsp; All of these areas are areas that will be a part of life on the mission field.&nbsp; What we are learning now, will be more than useful once we are on the field&#8230;.that is, if we can remember all that we&#8217;ve been taught.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"redText\"><span class=\"normalText\">On the &quot;Outreach&quot; front, Joel is still working at Medical Missions for Christ.&nbsp; Currently he&#8217;s leading a Bible study and working in the office one day a week.&nbsp; One on one discipleship seems to be working much better than trying to go for a group.&nbsp; God is faithful though, and we know that no matter the size of the Bible study, God has a purpose for Joel&#8217;s ministry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Let us leave you with a saying we heard recently&#8230;.&quot;God has a perfect record of faithfulness, and He <span class=\"redText\">WILL NOT <\/span><span class=\"normalText\">break that record for you (or me).&quot;&nbsp; Isn&#8217;t that encouraging?&nbsp; God is God.&nbsp; He does what He says He&#8217;s going to do.&nbsp;When things are going wrong, or you feel down,&nbsp;<span class=\"redText\">remember who God is<\/span>.<span class=\"blueText\"><span class=\"blueText\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span> He&#8217;s perfect and He always will be!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This holiday season we have had&nbsp;been blessed&nbsp;to spend time with family &amp;
