Some of the fun we had in March!

Gary and Kathy Wolf, supporters from

Prestoncrest church in Dallas, came to

Brazil to visit the family of one of the

exchange students they have taken in over

the years. They just happened to be in a

city near us and were able to come visit us

for two days, worship with the Itu Church,and meet some of the people we work with

here. What a blessing! Thank you Gary

and Kathy for your support and

encouragement. Your visit meant so much

to us!

During the Leadership workshop Jerry

was able to work with two of his favorite

people, Tod Brown and Robert Walter.

These two have taught us so much and

been great friends.

Three more 24hr retreats were heldduring the month of March, each with 4-5

couples participating. There are now 13

couples who have been trained to conduct

this event in their own congregations. This

is the Marital Sabbatical retreat that we

reported on last month.

The Itu church held its first womens

retreat during the first weekend in April.

Gail helped conduct the group dynamics

sessions. Nearly 40 women participated.

We continue to do counseling by

Skype with missionaries and church

leaders throughout the country.

This month we conducted our last

clinical interview with the couples being

considered for the Goiania team and spent

many hours preparing for our first Quest

seminar with that team which will be held

in April. Quest is their last step in the

evaluation process. The candidates will be

interviewed by 6 different assessment

teams. These teams will then determine,

with Gods help, which couples are ready

to go to the mission field. We ask for your

prayers for this important process.

Many blessings on all of your who

support us with your prayers and

generosity. We know God is making a

difference in the Brazilian church

because of your vision in helping the

Family Institute.
