Brasilia

Hey! Hope everyone is well, or at least better than me. Travelling
almost always makes me sick so just a matter of time until this stage
passes. Natinha and I went to Brasilia last week to stop in on the American Embassy for a document for Natinha that could only be picked up in person. While we were there we decided
to stop in the Ministry of Justice building and see why my permanent visa is taking so long. The reason? We didn't send in a letter telling them we have never separated and are still married and have always been married. No one told us that we had to send this, and no one knew
why the process was on hold, so a good thing we had to go to Brasilia,
we killed two birds with one stone (or two rabbits with one club, here
inBrasil). While there we got to dine on some fine American delicacies like Burger King and Pizza Hut, but I am placing the blame on Pizza Hut for my current health status.

Things are running along well and we will have new news posted in the next month if we have time before camp. Please be praying for our camping program which will begin February 16 and run until February 2oth.

Merry Christmas 2006

FELIZ NATAL e FELIZ ANO NOVO DO BRASIL!

(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year From Brazil!)

Mike and Natinha Poe

This year was a whirlwind with much happening in our lives as well as in the ministry here in Brazil. We have been encouraged throughout the year to see people come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. It truly is a blessing to see the change Jesus Christ makes in peoples lives. That is why we do what we do and hope that you feel just as blessed when we pass along these praises.

God has blessed us too, in that we have many people such as you who support us and pray for us and our ministry. Thank you! You are a blessing to us. We pray for you during the year as well.

I am thinking of what God may have in store for us in 2007. It is probably a good thing that we can’t know for sure what awaits us in the future. If we knew it would be hard to encounter the struggles that we know await us, but then again if we knew maybe we could avoid them as well. What fun would that be?! I know that God has everything laid out before us and that his way and timing are perfect. It is in that mindset that we enter into 2007. Ready for the blessings and the trials that lie ahead.

Pray that God would continue to work wonders in the lives of the people here. That people would turn from the wicked and evil practices to repent of their sins and find true peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God bless you and we hope that you and all of yours have a great Christmas season, and a wonderful new year.

Serving Him,

Mike and Natinha
