Brazil Bound: The Why

October 9, 2015 by Joel Potter

Earlier this year, Bethany hosted a group of former college roommates for a 20 year reunion of sorts. These ladies have spread around the world since college to as far away as the Middle-East and Brazil.

It was a sweet time to catch up and with one gal in particular, Bethany specially connected. This woman, now married and with three kids is serving at an international school in western Brazil, where NTM missionaries serve along side of other ex-pat and Brazilian missionaries. This team serves kids whose parents are working to reach the unreached all over Brazil.

As Bethany and Brin spent hours talking over the course of the visit, the idea for us to take a trip down there came up.

And later in the summer, as we thought and prayed more about it, the idea began to look more and more possible.

PQQ1_Logo-01We have the chance to go down and over ten days encourage this team practically in how they are communicating about what they do and the needs they, as a school and as individual missionaries, have. We would also have some other unique opportunities to serve these servants and co-workers of ours.

 

Right from the beginning, we realized that this would be a trip that we would need to raise funds for and that wasn’t daunting at all. God has provided for every need we have ever had and if He is for us going on this trip, we trust He’ll provide.

We’re raising the money to go and you can help us in a few different ways. And before you do any of these things, will you pray for God to guide us in either providing the funds we need, or by telling us to stay, by not giving us what is needed right now?

We just posted a big Year in Review post on our bl We just posted a big Year in Review post on our blog and to the email list. As you know, a whole lot of life happened in 2022 and it's likely that 2023 will be no different. We'd love to fill you in. 

Take a look at it on the blog OR you can listen to it. Listening is a super-simple way to keep up with us when you can't read. Like while you're taking the kids to school or walking your pup. 

You can find links to LISTEN or READ at my profile site.

To “tend a loved one in decline” - part 2 The To “tend a loved one in decline” - part 2

The beautiful thing is how the light breaks through the fog. If the responsibility, the challenges, the emotional heaviness is the fog, the grace of the gracious high-priest, Jesus, is that light that for now makes the fog glow with incredible beauty and will one day burn off the fog. 

And for now, the wise words of Douglas McKelvey are a comfort:

“Love is wearying in this way, and even we who deeply love the ones we serve, need grace upon grace upon grace lest we despair. For in our giving, we are ever drained and so often depleted. We long for what we are too long without: respite and refreshment. So be our rest, O Christ, when there is no other rest to find.”
