Reckless Love Of God

You may be familiar with the song, and we are certainly familiar with the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God. Looking back over the past year, it’s a bit overwhelming to see all He’s done for us. How He has protected and provided. We know with certainty that God is not done with us yet, that we have been called to continue to serve Him with all that we are and all that we have, thanks to Him.

Joe had his 6 week post-op appointment and the Dr. said that he is doing extremely well! PRAISE GOD! In the months previous to the surgery he was only getting 300-600 steps a day with severe symptoms almost daily. Now he’s back up to 4,000-6,000 steps a day with minor soreness and fatigue from the surgery, not quite back to full capacity, but feeling soooo much better. 

Next week we hear back from the hospital with Joe’s cardiac rehab schedule. He will have appointments 3X a week for 4-6 weeks. Once he is cleared, he will be able to begin light work part time for 3 months. 

During this period we’re hoping to visit with our current supporters and churches. We’ll also do more ministry partnership development to raise our support back up again. The Dr. said he sees no reason why we shouldn’t be cleared to head back to Brazil by the end of the year. So, this is our prayer and goal, Lord willing! 

Thank you for your prayers, they have sustained us more than we can say.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
