Dave & Mary-Ann Cox, Brazil

Dear Friends,
We are off to the start of a new school year at the Seminary with 29 married couples and 149 singles in the resident program. They are divided into 13 groups, each with a staff couple building into their lives.

Throughout the year, we will have 12 Saturdays in which we expect around 200 lay leaders to come for all day classes. We will also have 4 weeks during the year in which 123 pastors and church leaders will come to work on their graduate studies. Please pray for these times of focused study!

In 1965, our 11 students lived and studied in a borrowed building that no longer exists. Over the years, you invested prayer and finances in 3 areas - the Living Stones (building & equipment), the Discipleship Fund (students and staff), and our personal support. God has done great things in both buildings and lives as a result of your partnering with us.

Many of you prayed for our son-in-law, Keith, and his search for employment. On February 19th, he was hired by Franklin Graham as a pilot for Samaritan's Purse! Kim and their 6 join him in thanking you for your part in prayer. They hope to sell their home in Columbus, OH quickly and are looking for a place in Wilksboro, NC.

The next several weeks are full of times with individual students, classes, weekends in a number of churches, and one retreat for couples. Then we fly to the US. In our next update, we hope to give you an idea of our furlough schedule starting in mid May. God has provided a car for us in Georgia, so it looks like we may drive through NC more and through OH less.

Thank you for your prayers,

Dave & Mary-Ann
