What a rich, joy-filled, exhausting, encouraging two months our family has had - in 3 hemispheres! Wait. How can there be three hemispheres? Well, it all depends on your perspective.

A Grand World Mission Conference (Northern Hemisphere)

Over 1200 participants gathered for the World Mission Conference to celebrate 200 years of ministry in over 70 countries. Over 150 international partners joined with us to reflect on the past and plan for the future. It was deeply moving to see God’s family together to worship, share, and learn together.

Adventures in New Zealand (Eastern Hemisphere)

After 3 years of separation, what joy to spend time with our daughter Elena and husband Mark exploring “Middle Earth” and the jaw-dropping beauty of northern New Zealand.

A Spirit-filled Pastors’ Conference in Brazil (Southern Hemisphere)

“This was the best pastors’ gathering in years!” commented one national leader. Folks were inspired by the speakers and workshop leaders, including Dr. Clay and Cheri Ford of ABC-related Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries who shared from their hearts about our individual and corporate identity in Christ and our calling to be God’s agents of transformation.

Thank you for walking with us on this journey. We are able to use our gifts and abilities to strengthen the Body of Christ here in Brazil because of your prayers, cards, emails, and financial gifts (we are currently at 82% of the personal financial support goal IM has set for us).
