God gave us a gorgeous, sunny day\u00a0on May 26th and graciously held off the \u201cpredicted\u201d rain! Bethany &amp; Zach&#8217;s\u00a0outdoor ceremony was a beautiful, relaxed, fun, and God-honoring\u00a0celebration of their union as husband and wife.\u00a0We are thankful for everything going smoothly\u00a0and for the many helping hands that lightened\u00a0the work load for us. Please pray for the\u00a0happy couple as they settle into their first home, an apartment at New Tribes Bible\u00a0Institute in Waukesha, WI, and as they adjust to their new\u00a0responsibilities on staff at the school&#8212;Zach serving in Information\u00a0Technology (IT) and Bethany helping with the finances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"housed\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed-600x479.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed-138x110.jpg 138w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/john-kerstetter\/files\/2015\/06\/housed-250x200.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>We are overwhelmed and excited with God&#8217;s provision of the beautiful home He is giving us! Selling\u00a0our house in Brazil (with the market in our favor) and buying a house here (with the market in our\u00a0favor) was nothing we planned. God has abundantly blessed us! Walking through the process of\u00a0buying a house has been a new learning experience for us and the Lord\u00a0has been leading and confirming each step. We had many busy days\u00a0painting and cleaning the house, preparing for moving in. We were\u00a0blessed with extra hands helping with the move the beginning of July\u00a0and are basically settled in. We now have lots of space for our\u00a0expanding family and for guests and ministry. Please come visit us!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our team!
