Today was my last day at work. I have worked in the same company for the last 5 years and I consider my work colleagues as my little family here in Australia.
It was sad to say goodbye but I know that friendships were made during those years and we will keep in touch no matter where I go. I am very blessed because they all support me and encourage me to go on to the next step of my life as I start with SIM.
A big thank you to my work friends!!!
Now U-Don and I start a new page of the story of our lives and it is very exciting to share all of this with you.
To start with: we are heading off to Brazil tomorrow for an amazing trip.
We will be attending my sister’s wedding and sharing her big day with my whole family. We are really excited to go and spend time with them because it has been 2 years since we last saw them.
We are also looking forward to the amazing ministry opportunities that we are going to experience while in Brazil.
U-Don is going to join a sports ministry that uses martial arts classes to bring hope to disadvantaged children.
I will be joining a few different ministries that will be quite challenging but also very rewarding to participate of:
- ministry to prisoners,
- support to girls that want to leave prostitution,
- evangelism to the deaf community,
- visit to hospitals,
- visit and care for families that live below the poverty line and depend on collecting rubbish from the dumpsters,
- and many others.
The idea is for me to watch and participate of some ministries currently done by Brazilian churches that are in need of missionaries. And, when I am back in Sydney as a SIM mission mobiliser, part of my role will be to facilitate the partnership with SIM Brazil by sending SIM missionaries from Australia to serve in those areas of urgent need. Please pray that God will raise the workers to go.
I will be posting news on my blog about each of the ministries while we are there so you can read about them and pray for the people who we will be in contact with through those programs.
We ask if you could pray:
- for our safety,
- for us to have a good time with family,
- for a lovely wedding day for my sister,
- for God to use us in the ministries we will be participating of,
- for us to be open to what God will do in our lives in the future,
- for us to be servants in God’s hands.
Keep tuned because more news are on the way!
