The big news is, of course, that Caid and I
got married. We started dating August 23, 2012, and were engaged one year
later. To propose in person, Caid went to Brazil, where I have been serving for
the past nine years (You can watch our wedding, as well as the ministry in
Brazil, on Youtube.com under “Rachel Ferguson”).
I was so excited to have my mother come to
Brazil in April, and have my father walk me down the aisle. In Brazil, Caid
assisted me in coordinating the Living Stones program, which in 2013, served
over 17,000 meals to over 280 impoverished children and their families, working
through local churches.
On November 9, 2013 we were married with 100
dear friends, and 100 of my children from Living Stones participating in the
first wedding most of them had ever attended. We enjoyed a honeymoon at a
friend’s beach house, and then returned to the United States to enjoy the
holidays with family.
While my role is changing, I am still the
coordinator for Living Stones—just on the USA side of things. Caid and I are
praying (and hoping!) to lead a short-term missions trip to Brazil in October
2014. Next year, Caid is working to finish his degree in Urban Leadership at
Crossroads Bible College, so we will be living in Indianapolis during that
time. We are both looking for jobs and opportunities as God leads us in this
new life together, as well as praying about what God might have for us in the
future—whether in the States or abroad. Thank you for your prayers and support.
