News from Bryan and Deana Wolf
Greetings from the USA! We have been in the States for nearly 3 months now and haven’t stopped since our feet hit US soil. It’s been a crazy busy life, but we are enjoying being here. We have been blessed to have the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends as well as meet new people as we travel and share about God’s work in Chile. Shortly after arriving in May, we had the blessing of participating in a Global Impact Celebration in Greenville, SC. We have dear friends that are pastoring a church there and were able to spend a few days with them and their children. We had a wonderful time! In June, Bryan and Samuel were the camp missionaries at a Baptist boys’ camp in Streator, IL. They had a super time sharing about Chile and going fishing, making and shooting rockets, racing cars, etc. The girls and I stayed with Bryan’s sister, who lives nearby, and spent one day in Chicago at the American Girl Place. That has been a highlight of our time in the States (so far) for the girls! In July, Bryan’s parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and Bryan’s dad’s 65th birthday with an Open House for family and friends. What a blessing to have the opportunity to celebrate with so many people. We were able to attend a family reunion on my side in early August and will be heading to Missouri for week with Bryan’s family for vacation. Interspersed with all of these activities, we have had the privilege to share in a few Sunday School classes, to share in several churches, and to participate in two VBS outreach ministries. And, we were able to attend a Stateside Assignment Conference in Richmond, VA and receive training and connect with other IMB missionaries that are stateside as well. Like I said, it’s been a crazy busy life! Bryan has taken two intensive week-long seminary classes this summer and plans to take some on-line seminary classes this fall. I will be receiving English-as-a-Second-Language training while we are in the States in preparation for future ministry opportunities when we return to Chile in early February. The children are all doing well. They are enjoying the finer points of American culture – fast food, creamy ice cream, Dorito’s, cheap shoes, Dr. Pepper, etc.! They think the pools here are awesome and enjoy the cleanliness of the parks. Please continue to remember Pastor Marcelo and the church in Vallenar in your prayers. The church is growing but there continue to be significant challenges in the ministry. Pray for God’s spirit to move in a mighty way in the Huasco River Valley and that more workers would be called to the Harvest. Thank you for your continued prayer support. We’d love to try to see each one of you while we are stateside! Serving Him, Stateside Contact Information: |
