While in Cape Town, we had breakfast one day with Sheralyn, whose parents started Living Hope. We got to talking about our plans to go to Brazil. Sheralyn told us she had a friend there, Sidney, whom she had met in Michigan. She forwarded his newsletter to us, which was pretty cool, considering we hadn’t yet been accepted to the program so weren’t yet sure we were going.
Fast forward a month until this Sunday when Julie tells us a friend of hers would be joining us for the month. Sidney arrived today! He is a guy very dedicated to God, serving with a ministry called Masters Commission. He lived for many years at the exact house where we will be staying for 3 months. His sister is still there as well.
It’s so amazing how God works so completely. Knowing so little about Brazil, I was concerned about what the program and conditions would be like there. Now here I am, in South Africa, hearing about a Brazilian missionary, and then meeting him in Mozambique. God provides people at opportune times throughout our lives that give us direction and confirmation.
Thurs. Aug. 28th
Tomorrow night when we arrive in Belo Horizonte, Sidney will meet us in the airport and take us to the YWAM base. I’m very thankful for Sid and all of the things he has taught us. We’ve had many laughs we’ve had over the last month, learning about God and serving Him. We’re looking forward to seeing him on his home soil!
