Dear Family and Friends

From Global Lutheran Outreach missionaries Paul and Barbara Brink (Preparing to serve in Santiago, Chile)

How is 2021 looking to you? We hope you are well and seeing life becoming a bit more normal.

We are thankful to report a successful time of teaching in Liberia last month. The Lord kept us safe and healthy and gave us significant opportunities to support the congregations of our sister church in Liberia, The Evangelical Lutheran Church, Liberia Synod.

We are also praising God for opening the doors for us to go to Chile—finally! The country is gradually opening, and we received the green light to go ahead with our plans. God willing, we will leave for Santiago, Chile, on March 19, 2021. We will have 7 to 10 days with Rev. Jim and Liisa Tino before they leave on their three-month furlough. Our task is to keep their church plant going and growing while they are gone. We plan to stay in Chile until June 30.

We are grateful to all of you for your support through your contributions and prayers. We will do our best to send regular updates of our ministry along with prayer requests.

As you know, through your donations, we have reached 100% of the funds needed to make this trip. For those of you still wanting to contribute, here is an idea. The ministry we will be serving is currently worshipping outdoors and is trying to raise funds to build a chapel before the cold weather begins in April!
