Todd and Julie Hendry have been missionaries with Avant Ministries for 21 years, serving in Ceará, Brazil with their 4 children. After planting a church in Croatá, and a short medical leave, they have been living in Nova Russas, Ceará developing a church planting team with the local church to plant a church in Ipueiras, Ceará, 25 minutes away. Ipueiras is a town of less than 40,000 that is known for its idolatry and African religious witchcraft. Please pray for the family as they move to this new town this spring, and for the many people they come in contact with to take every opportunity to share the Good News.

Praise

  • God's consistent provision and wise leading
  • God's protection for our family
  • Our consistent prayer warriors
  • We've received some good answers with health problems (Todd's back does not require immediate surgery and is doing much better than expected)

Prayer

  • Formation of the Ipueiras Church planting team
  • Move to Ipueiras
  • Planning for several outreaches and conferences in the next three months.
  • Finances for a trip to Panama in June with our missions agency
  • Daughter Michaela's 3 month missions internship in Angola
  • Son Samuel's move to US this summer. He's looking for a job and housing in Kansas City
  • Spiritual growth and schooling for Lily and Levi
