Here it goes some pats of my newsletter I recently sent out!

Hi!! Maybe you have wondered why I say “Tati’s time”??? Let me explain. In the summer of&nbsp;2010, we were hosting a short term trip from Oak Hills with Pastor David Holcomb. Since I am&nbsp;so short and look more like one of the kids, David (being really tall and loud) starting catching&nbsp;everyone’s attention for me by singing “It’s Tati Time!” LOL Now that I have your attention,&nbsp;enjoy my newsletter!!!


It’s been 5 months I’m in the USA and I’m getting ready&nbsp;to go back home!!! God’s doing amazing things among&nbsp;the youth at our church, Pastor Heider Quintino, who has&nbsp;been attending our church for about one year is being&nbsp;used by God in amazing ways to reach those young ones.&nbsp;Pastor Heider is co leading our youth choir with Michael&nbsp;Pupo while Wellington is gone and building strong relationships with them. As a result of his dedication many of them are on fire for God and getting involved in leadership training, discipleship and evangelism! Praise God!


Although I am sad to be&nbsp;missing all the exciting&nbsp;things happening at home, I&nbsp;can see that God is growing&nbsp;me so much in this time&nbsp;away. He is using this time&nbsp;to shape me in certain areas&nbsp;of my life that being here&nbsp;have allowed me to see and&nbsp;work on with Christ. Thank&nbsp;you Lord for being so gracious to me!

Life is busy here, just like at&nbsp;home but in a different way.&nbsp;Raising support takes a lot of&nbsp;effort and the results take a&nbsp;long time to see, adding to&nbsp;that my own personal prob-lems and it gives space to&nbsp;worry. I’m learning to live&nbsp;by Prov 3:5-7 Trust in the&nbsp;LORD with all your heart; and&nbsp;lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways&nbsp;acknowledge him, and he&nbsp;will direct your paths. Do&nbsp;not be wise in your own eyes.

Sometimes, unless a big&nbsp;thing happens we don’t feel&nbsp;God is moving, we lean on&nbsp;our own understanding and&nbsp;trust what we “think” we are&nbsp;seeing...But check out what I&nbsp;learned: “There are times&nbsp;when there is no illumination&nbsp;and no thrill, but just the daily&nbsp;round, the common task. Routine is God's way of saving us&nbsp;between our times of inspiration. Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling&nbsp;minutes, but learn to live in&nbsp;the domain of drudgery by&nbsp;the power of God.” Oswald&nbsp;Chambers.

He is taking care of every little&nbsp;and big thing! He is the crea-tor, worthy to be praised! I’ve&nbsp;learned more than ever if I&nbsp;seek His face He will move in&nbsp;amazing ways that I didn’t&nbsp;know….&nbsp;While I was busy with details&nbsp;He raised my support to 59%&nbsp;in May and He has brought&nbsp;me to 73% last month!!! At the&nbsp;same time He has also been&nbsp;working out vital aspects of&nbsp;our relationship! I didn’t real-ize how many BIG things God&nbsp;has been doing until I came to&nbsp;the place of worshiping Him&nbsp;and Him alone for who He is,&nbsp;not for what He is doing for&nbsp;me. When I do this I don’t&nbsp;give space to worry but in-stead sing a newsong to the&nbsp;Lord!!!

Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For&nbsp;great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD&nbsp;endures forever. Praise the LORD. Psalm 117:1
Prayer Requests....&nbsp;Please continue to pray for my mom, Adesia.&nbsp;They&nbsp;found problems with her&nbsp;thyroid. She is taking medicines to see if it correct&nbsp;this. Also she has had back&nbsp;problems for a long time&nbsp;and she might need to&nbsp;have surgery because it’s&nbsp;not healing.&nbsp;

. For all the 600 children&nbsp;we work with, for God to&nbsp;break their chains in Jesus!&nbsp;
. Again, that God would&nbsp;continue to draw me closer&nbsp;to Him through my last&nbsp;month in the USA and forever!For people and churches&nbsp;respond to the Holy Spirit&nbsp;as He touches them to partner with us!
Thank you a lot!!! God bless you,
Tati
