Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
Prayer Requests
THANK YOU for your continued PRAYERS! We didn’t post our last update publicly for a few safety reasons, so if you’d like a copy please let us know. Joe has been in the US for 3 weeks now and originally when he left we honestly thought he’d only be gone 4-5 weeks. However, he still has several tests and appointments scheduled up to the end of Oct. Also, airfare was very high last month so we thought it best if the kids and I stayed in Brazil.
Given that Gavin and Anora have birthdays soon, we were able to find cheaper tickets this month and Joe’s health hasn’t been the best – the kids and I will be joining him soon. We hope just for a month or 2, then we’ll return to PQQ. After much prayer, we believe this is the best decision and we are trusting God with providing everything we need to follow through.
Specific Requests
- Pray for the doctors to decide well on what will be the best long term outcome for Joe’s health and his patience during the process, so far his medication hasn’t helped much, but it needs a few more weeks before they will decide if surgery is needed. (we found out last month he has a congenital condition – a main artery grew within the heart muscle)
- Pray for the kids and I as we have a LOT of packing and cleaning since we’ll need to empty our house and put everything in storage.
- Pray for the kids and I as we travel, I am extremely nervous about it!
- Pray we can find somewhere temporary to live, my parents have an extra room, but it’d be difficult especially with Joe trying to recover.
Please contact us at: erin_suttle@ntm.org or joseph_suttle@ntm.org if you have any housing leads from mid October to mid December.
Thank you all for your love, encouragement and support, it means the world to us!

Praying for God’s strength through this time of trail’s. Lean on him and not on your own understanding. I’m a walking testimony of what God has done in my life being born with a congenital heart defect. Continuous prayers for Joe, you and the kids.
