Please come see us and help out with our work

Hello dear friends of Salvador,

Our team is looking at hosting a supporting friends and church campaign nextsummer.

This campaign is for all of our friends, family and supporters whoare interested in serving the church here in Salvador. The idea is tocombine the efforts of individuals, families and smaller groups fromchurches into one larger, more effective campaign. Our team receives lotsof visitors each year who love us and love the church here. We feel that tocombine the efforts of the individual visits would utilize those who come toserve in ways that are most useful to the church here in Salvador. You couldcome and serve with others from the US and Canada in a way that would leavea lasting effect on your Brazilian brothers and sisters.

*Dates*: JULY 5-13, 2010 (not including travel days)

*Costs*: your costs would include your plane tickets, food, lodging, andtransportation

*What will the campaign do*?: This campaign will focus on evangelisticoutreach to our neighborhood, physical labor working on our church buildingand homes of our members, and a special event reaching out to families.

*What we need right now from you: *Right now we need to find out if there isenough interest from our supporters to host this campaign and start workingon the myriad of details.

If you are interested in coming to this week of service next summer we needto know ASAP. Your response is not a commitment but will let us know if weshould go ahead with this campaign. We would also like to know your levelof interest, from "that would be fun, maybe", to "I think we might reallylike to do that", to "Sign me up, I'm coming!" So if this is of interest toyou please respond back to me (porter@missionsalvador.com) or to themissionary family you support.

We know that the Salvador mission team has a great cloud of witnessespraying for us. As a team we would like to thank you for all that you do tokeep us here on field serving the Lord in this way. We would love for youto come and see first hand what God is doing here in this marvelous city andtake part in His work.

In Him,
Jennifer Porter

Matt & M.V.,

We are hoping to send Emilie to Brazil as her high school graduation present. We'll know closer to the time how feasible it will be - you never know about scheduling for a teenager! This summer she had summer school at MAC and her wisdom teeth out - next year looks better!

Keep us posted on the time frame that will work best for you all.

The girls are adorable and getting so big!!
