SILVAS ARE RETURNING SOON!

Diego Silva, a Brazilian citizen who has a passion to share his faith with college students, has been approved for an R-1 Visa that will allow him to return to the US and serve on our VCU staff as a campus minister with the aim of reaching out to international students. We're so excited about this and anticipate that they will be back by the end of September.

We have already secured a rental house for them and are working hard to prepare the house for their arrival. It is our goal for the Silvas to aarrive and be able to hit the ground running (establish their residency, begin ministry and kids in school). With this in mind, we would like for friends of the Silvas and folks who care about the ministry to consider donating gently used furniture, item(s) on the Amazon Wish List or a financial gift.
