Dear Friends and Family, May
2013
It is with great joy, thankfulness, and amazement that I
write this letter. For the past few
years I have felt God calling me to teach overseas again. However, each path I attempted to walk ended
without leaving Grand Rapids. This past summer
while hiking a mountain He introduced me to Brenda, a teacher at Pan American
Christian Academy (PACA) in São Paulo, Brazil. She stopped me on the mountain because I was
wearing a t-shirt that said “Brazil” on it and we started talking. God used this mountaintop experience to begin
leading me down a path demonstrating His glory and power. I would love to share more of this journey
with you, so please ask if you are interested!
This July I plan to leave for two years to teach 1st
grade at PACA. Would you consider
praying with me?
Praise:
·
God opened up a 1st
grade teaching position in Brazil. (I currently teach 1st grade.)

·
God is guiding me

Other ways you can help:
I am looking for plastic
storage containers with lids to keep my things in while gone.
Would you consider storing a
couple of boxes in your home/basement?
This will keep my storage costs down.
Thank
you so much for your prayer, interest, and support. I would be honored to tell you more about how
God has been working in mind-boggling ways.
Sincerely,
Marybeth Sattler
