Dear guests, and friends,
Thank you all so much. Thanks be to the Christ for His mercy even in the darkest of times.
Yes Tracey, feel free to print this Guestbook, although I was thinking of compiling the Guestbook entries neatly on one page. It should be public for you all today.
We will continue to stay in touch through the internet. Hopefully the team is feeling better after a much needed rest.
God bless you friends. - Denny
141.Samantha · 08-13-2007 8:37:07

Thanks again, Tracey
139.Tracey · 08-12-2007 13:41:37
Denny, just so you know. They did touch down on time. They all looked great but tired. Thank you for everything you have done, you were a very important part of this mission. A few of us are hoping we can continue to use this site to connect to each other. We'll let you work that out with Steve. God bless you. Tracey

133.Boib · 08-10-2007 18:21:41
Hi guys...I wish you the best
and to have a very enjoyable
day in Rio on your way home.
Steve...I took the bird out
for flying lessons on the hill and also let him take a bath in the sink. He really enjoyed the fellowship with the other birds...I couldnt find the sugar glider as I was going to take him up on the hill also.
Eric, I have numbered the chairs and marked the position for them on the floor.
Rich...I think I used the wrong kind of wax on your truck as it turned orange!
The new striping I put on the road is a bit crooked but if you follow the yellow brick you can find your way in.
Bet you guys have missed my humor, huh....duh
enjoy and God bless, bob
132.Anjali · 08-10-2007 11:51:26
LOVE ALL OF YOU! I am praying for you all to be able to be comfortable on the way home! Also that God will put more people in your path so that He may be glorified. Can't wait to see you! Have tons of fun in RIO and take lots of pics!
131.Jane · 08-10-2007 10:01:00
I wonder how many people are going to hear about Jesus because of you 11? Your names will go through out the entire region.
I'm still praying .
Think of me while you're shopping--it's a good thing.
Luv, Jane
130.Dorothy · 08-10-2007 7:23:00

129.Tracey Hart · 08-10-2007 1:13:32
Okay, one last post. I can't help myself.
I love you!!
PRAISE GOD, YOU DID IT!!!
Still praying!
128.Webmaster · 08-09-2007 23:54:09
Tracey, God doesn't mind, so we don't either.
By the way you guys, please take the time to watch the opening video on this website. The video is called "Psalms". You will be deeply encouraged and blessed by God's affirmations in this video.
I received an update from our Pastor, and it will be live very soon! God bless you.
127.Tracey Hart · 08-09-2007 22:03:44
Wow. I just went back through the entries. That Tracey person sure does ramble on. blah, blah, blah.
126.Tracey Hart · 08-09-2007 21:06:27
Hey! You're almost there! Teresa and I have apparently been praying the same thing, that today would be a day of fun. I prayed so hard that you all would laugh until you couldn't stand it anymore. I think God just wants you all to feel so happy about what you've done. I also had the same thought about the mosqitos, Teresa, I think we prayed to many of the spiders away and left the mosquitos to feast. We'll know better next time. Steve, my weird dream of the day today featured you. You had "run home" to your office to "pick something up" but were on your way back when I saw you. Stay focused on Jesus, things at home are fine. Oh, we love you all so much!!! See you soon!!!
125.Anjali · 08-09-2007 16:50:41
Hi ALL- I hope things are going good. I have been praying against sickness and that as time draws to an end that you will still focus on God's work. That you will know even as you travel God may still have work for you.
Donnell, I love you and miss you! Today Teresa had her cardiology appt. w/Dr. -Chan it was a so-so appt. Kids miss you and can't wait for you to come home.
124.Wantz Boyz · 08-09-2007 16:45:19
Hey Mr. Wallace,
Hi it is us Billy, Mikey and DJ. Robby is at football practice! Wait til u hear about that. We are on to just say hey and to not forget the 3 of us want soccer balls and a smooth rock for DJ.
Sounds like things are going good. Hope you get home safely. Hurry Miss Anjali is going crazy! LOL -Billy
TTYL Peace OUT --DJ, Billy, MIkey
123.Teresa (Wade's sister) · 08-09-2007 15:52:05
Hi Wade and team! I don't know wether to laugh or cry hearing about 500 bites! I'm sure you will have many animated stories to tell! Don't they have a magnetic bracelet that repels bugs??? I pray that you all have FUN on your last day and safe travel home. Very proud of you Wade for stepping out in faith and not letting those spiders get the best of you! (Should have given more thought to the mosquitos!) Love you, can't wait to hear all about the amazing stories you must have.
122.Dorothy · 08-09-2007 10:32:20
Praying for safe traveling today and that you all are feeling better.
All is well here. We love you all and miss you. Counting the days until you are home
121.Paul · 08-09-2007 10:23:47
Hi everyone! I'm so proud of all of you and what you are doing and accomplishing there. You are changing the eternities of countless people. The people you are touching are going to touch others and so on til hundreds, thousands, millions,billions maybe are changed for eternity! God bless you. We are praying for you and can't wait to hear all of your stories.
120.CAROL · 08-09-2007 9:54:39
I miss you, Eric...I will continue to pray for you all as you prepare to leave. I pray that the villagers who you met will be strong in their fairth and reach out to others. I know they will be under attack from ouradvisary and will need God's strength. I hope you all have a restful couple of days in Belem/Para/Brasil and Rio. Can't wait to see you, Eric!!!!!
119.Tracey · 08-09-2007 4:43:29
There was a storm tonight and my power went out, right in the middle of doing a video and pictures for Kid's Camp finale So, I had a lot of time to pray. God is so pleased with all of you, my heart was bursting with His love and delight over all of you. I prayed for each of you and for you as a unit. Samantha, Christa and Wade, I had a really weird dream with the three of you. I won't tell you now but I felt like maybe God was telling me you are homesick so I prayed for that. It was really kind of funny. I prayed for all of you to have a great day with lots of laughter on the boat and for a swift trip home. We're so anxious to see you all. Carole, Kid's Camp has been great, I can't wait for you to see the pictures!! Love you! See you soon!!!!!
118.Cindy Ford · 08-09-2007 2:45:12
Once again, Thank you so much to all of you for taking the Love I have found at the Vineyard of Licking County and spreading it all throuhout Brazil and everywhere your traveling. I commented again Sunday that there is a Love for the Lord that just flows at the Vineyard LC unlike anywhere I have ever worshiped. It is incredible. Thank you also to your families that shared you with those in Brazil. What a reunion it will be when those wheels touchdown in Columbus Ohio. God Bless You All, Cindy Ford and Familyl

Hi Everyone,
I tried this earlier but didn't do something and it never got to you. You have all been in our prayers as you do the work of the Lord. Eric, you are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Dad and I are so proud of you and your walk with God. We will see you on Sunday with your loving wife, Carol with us.
Love,
Mom and Dad
115.marilyn · 08-08-2007 16:25:33
Here I am in (near) /cincy the weather is hot! I have left the thoughts of the office behind but I still think, pray and today I got to share with the workers from the big Cincychurch of what you are doing in Brazil and they were very pleased of your work for the Lord and the people in Brazil.
114.Carol H · 08-08-2007 13:18:22
Hey guys I miss you all. i can't wait till you get back and are able to share the stories in detail. I'm praying for not only all of you, but also for those who accept Christ because of your witness. I pray that they will be able to cary the light of Jesus into the remotest parts of the Amzon basin. God bless ALL of you there in Brazil. Much love, Carol h
113.Tracey · 08-08-2007 9:15:55
Christa, I just put a new tshirt on. It says, "All that Christ is, He is for you". I KNOW! I thought of you when I read it. "That" is so wrong! Love you!
112.Dorothy · 08-08-2007 9:11:37
Jeanette and Rich, Just came back from your house and all is well there. And Jeanette I make sure I pet the cats!

111.Tracey · 08-08-2007 8:36:41
Okay, I confess, we were wondering which one itched worse, 285, 37 or maybe it was 419? Sorry, we are praying and we do love you.
110.Anjali · 08-07-2007 22:06:22
Wade,
We were discussing this and are wondering who counted all those bites? Well much love and itch relief are sent your way. We love you guys. Kids Kamp is great the kids are having a blast.
Donnell, I love you! I miss you a lot. By the way you need to pick up like 15 magnets ok? DJ has requested a soccer ball size 5 too! I just am requesting you! Things have been quite tough today and don't look to get better for some of our friends. (LONG STORY) I love you!
Have fun delivering filters and doing God's work. Remember GOD IS GOOD!
109.Tammy & Greg · 08-07-2007 21:48:47
Hi mom & Richard-We are praying for you guys & Richard I'm sorry you fell out of your hammockI will pray for your bumps & bruises & I hope you didn't get hurt to bad.

My heart goes out to all of you guys in Brazil. Some of the things you're going thru are definately not easy, but God never said it was supposed to be easy...
107.Marla Corliss · 08-07-2007 17:07:34
I am sitting here crying like a baby as I read all of the posts. So much love being sent to those we love. Samantha, I miss you. My prayers continue to be with you all. I can't wait to hear and see all of what God has done through all of you!
Marla
106.Tracey · 08-07-2007 15:25:38
How fitting is it that Marilyn and Susie got the 100th entry!!!
I wanted to put this on the site so everyone knows...there will be a welcome home potluck on Sunday, August 19th after the 2nd service at VLC. Bring a main dish and a dessert and come celebrate and give God the praise and glory for everything He has done in ALL of our lives during this time.
105.Carol · 08-07-2007 13:22:41
Eric, it was great to get you email. I really do miss you 3-4 calls a day. Wow, it sounds like God has really reached everyone's hearts on this mission and I sure you all will return with new fire for God. I hope you and Wade have overcome all your mosquito bites. Please let Rich know that I am praying for his health, along with everyone elses. Glad to hear that the team has come together as one family in Christ. I will be praying for continued strength, health and blessings on all. I am very excited to see you. Your mom and dad will be picking me up on Sunday. Take care. XOXOXO
104.Tracey · 08-07-2007 10:21:28
Wade and Eric, praying for God's perfect healing calamine lotion for you and everyone. We're also praying for physical protection for all of you as you deliver the filters and help with construction. We can't express how proud we are of all of you. Love you.
103.Cassie · 08-07-2007 10:17:43
God is SO Good! I am so blest to hear about what all of you (the team) has done and with greatful hearts (blisters and all). Praying that God touches each of you physically and allows the trip back north to be one of peace and comfort. I can't wait to hear the awesome stories about how each of you saw God move during the past couple of weeks. I believe that those of us back home may have a couple cool stories to share with you guys as well.
Richard - know that we are praying for your physical aches and paines. God does restore
102.Dorothy · 08-07-2007 10:15:31
Hello to all of you.As I type the Lord keeps bringing this to my mind."This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it"
We had prayer after Kids camp yesterday. Trusting that Pastor and Wade are better and that you all stay healthy and on fire for the Lord.
I was so blessed to see so many younger people helping with Kid's camp and it seemed to be going so well. God is so good and as you are obeying God's calling to go we continue on our knees here and trust you are feeling our prayers.
Jeanette I think smokey is falling in love with me.ha Kelly likes to be petted but smokey follows me for attention.
All is well here . We miss you but feel you are right where God wants all of you. God is in control. God is good all the time.
101.Jane · 08-07-2007 9:49:01
What an exciting time we are in. Miracles are happening all around us and we are witnesses to it. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Saw Kathy last night, she's doing great. Long story.
Hugs and kisses to all of you.
100.Marilyn & Sue · 08-07-2007 9:33:09
Well it is Tuesday and I am at the church but not for long I am off to Cincy! Sue is in charge so watch it! She said watch out!

98.Webmaster · 08-07-2007 0:02:33
Hello everyone!! Only a few days until our team returns. I just want to say I have been blessed and encouraged by your sweet and tender prayers from your heart. Although none of us are perfect, you all do your very best to display your sweet love of Christ. Your prayers are petitions for God to intervene! He listens to us! Although sometimes it seems like we are lonely and in the dark, really He is still with us.... So who will have the 100th Guestbook post?
In Jesus name, bless you all.
PS: The Lord inspired me so much when I read the lyrics to the song called "The Prayer". I hope everyone enjoys it, and Tracey, hope to hear from you so we can post everything up for you!
97.Tracey · 08-06-2007 23:41:46
It was another great night at Kid's Camp. VLC has been invaded by preschoolers who love to dance with Miss Tracie!! I spent some time with Kara and Lakota, they said to tell you "hi", they're fine and having a blast tormenting Andrew. At our prayer meeting tonight we thanked God for keeping all of your families, furry and not so furry (and feathered!), safe and happy. God has them all in His hands. We're trusting that you felt God's healing power today and that you rested well. We are still praying with all our hearts for all of you, we won't grow weary, promise. Miss you and love you!!
96.Teresa · 08-06-2007 21:30:29

92.Pat Berger · 08-06-2007 17:39:07
Pastor and Team,
You are seeing miracles there and our church is seeing them here. I am sure you have heard the wonderful news of Gabby's tumor shrinking and that Cathy McCann had 2 brain tumors - one toally removed and one
greatly reduced and PRAISE GOD, NO CANCER! My back
is finally on the mend, one more shot to go and I am starting a part time job next week which answers prayers for finances. The church is on fire and God is showing you and all of us that our perseverance is being blessed.
I am ready to get back into my personal ministry. We are anxiously awaiting your return and to hear about all you have seen accomplished in HIS HOLY NAME. Our prayers are with all of you. Keep safe
91.Misty & Michael and kids · 08-06-2007 15:24:38
Just wanted to say that everything at our house is good and we are praying for you all. I wish you were back already but that is just being selfish I know that what you are doing is an amazing thing and that you sharing the lord with other people will change their lives and yours. So continue on but, hurry home. We love you and miss you. Everything is good with the kids and Lauren is as active as ever. Nov. 16th will be her b-day if all goes good. Love you mom and Richard
90.dan · 08-06-2007 14:13:11

89.Anjali · 08-06-2007 13:33:34
Just thought you would like to know that Amanda and Jon Griffith had their baby today. They had a girl and her name is Lauren Faith Griffith. She was 7lbs. 5oz.
Hope everyone is feeling better! Remember who our Great Physician is and trust Him!
88.tammy & greg · 08-06-2007 11:58:29

87.Dorothy · 08-06-2007 9:49:55

Jeanette I think I am winning your cats hearts! They seem to love more each time I go over and smokey can't be petted enough either. All is well here and we miss you all and praying God will use all of you and we'll see a great harvest of souls. Know that we're praying! Love you all
86.Laura Beard · 08-06-2007 9:08:57
I'm praying for all of you. I'm praying for safety, healing, and blessings. Wade, I hope you're feeling better soon!
Dear Lord, please pour your blessings on each and everyone that is part of this mission trip and those who come in contact with them. Please let them see you and your hand in everything. I pray for healing for those who need your special touch; let them feel your peace and comfort. Keep them safe on this journey and bring them home safely. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
85.Edie · 08-06-2007 8:56:03
God's Blessing on all of you. Know that your "issues" are being lifted by the body here at home. It's hard enough to imagine being there, let alone being sick and hurting as well.
The service yesterday was AWESOME! I wish we did videos so you could see the way God was moving during ministry time both Sundays. He is honoring your work there by moving here as well.
Can't wait for your arrival home and to hear how God have used each of you and blessed you. Only a few more days, Carole, and you get your own bed back.
Love to all of you,
Edie
84.Andrew · 08-06-2007 8:34:14
Hey I didnt know there was a guest book. just saying hi have fun and wade feel better see you soon!
83.Tracey · 08-05-2007 23:55:36
Me again. Praying for healing, found Malachi 4:1-3. "...2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall..." Praying you will leap like calves by morning. PLEASE, WHEN (!) that happens, someone get a picture AND video!!
82.Tracey · 08-05-2007 22:43:56
Just read the update. The timing of your prayer was perfect. We were praying for you at the same time. Sleep, I'll pray all night for healing and rest for all of you. Love you.
81.Anjali · 08-05-2007 22:14:48
Kids Camp was great! Megan, Coleen and Tracey Irivin and Tracey Hart did a wonderful job. You will have to ask to see the power point that Tracey did.
I will pray for sickness and feet! Also that through building and delivering that the heat will be bearable.
Donnell, I love you and miss you! I can't wait to hear from you! Elijah is asking about you daily. We prayed for you in Zil(alysha's language) tonight and Alysha asked God to make you be nice ! Elijah asked God to be real to you! Tonight at Kids Camp, they learned that God is real and the kids said Wahoo. Much Love remember God can is living and active!
80.Tracey · 08-05-2007 22:11:40
Kids camp was great tonight! Lots of kids who are proud of their parents and grandparents who are apparently in Brazil? Don't know if you know any of them. It was a lot of fun. Wade, Randy and I missed you when we couldn't get the closing show to run. Randy figured it out with a little delay, all was fine. Can't wait to hear from you, seriously, can not wait any longer. I know it will all be amazing! Praying always. Love you.
79.Carol · 08-05-2007 21:41:16
Leave it to the pharmacist to get sick. Seriously, Wade, I do hope you are feeling better. Paster Steve, I pray for your blisters to heal soon. Heavenly Father, please be with the Brazil team in these final days. Thank you for the opportunity you gave them to bring lost souls to you. I know all the glory is given to you, Father. Please continue to bless the givers and the receivers. I pray for a safe journey home. In Jesus' holy name, Amen. Eric, I spent the day in Mt. Vernon with your family...Amy and family, too. I can't begin to tell you how very much I miss you and I love you with all my heart. Thank you for being who you are...God's messenger. See you soon. XOXOXO
78.martha · 08-05-2007 20:05:54
Still praying! I know you know this .. but wanted to reaffirm that the Lord is taking care of you all. He is listing prayer concerns even before you have a chance to post them. In my prayers last night 2 of the specific things that I was lead to pray for were sickness AND feet issues!! Prasie the Lord! Wade- praying for your healing!!!!(L.Y.A.P.O.Y)
77.tammy & greg · 08-05-2007 17:46:04
Hi mom & Richard-It's Sunday
8-5-07 & I went up to visit Matt after church & Winston is
doing great. He's teaching Tuck how to whine & bark in his crate. We can't wait to see
you & we miss you guys. I figured you'd like to know about Winston. Matt can't wait to see you guys too!
Well we're off to kids camp but I haven't written for a while & I just wanted to let you know we're thinking about you & we miss you.
Call us as soon as you get to
Texas or wherever you can get a signal on your way home. If we're not home call me on my cell. I love you & I'll write again later.Tammy, Greg & the boys.
76.Anjali · 08-05-2007 15:41:11
It has been raining the majority of the day. Which is good for all of us. Church today was fantastic Rham (sp?) spoke words from our heavenly Father of being blessed, and being the salt and light of the earth. I thought of the team because I know right now you are being salt and light of the earth spreading forth God's word and doing His work. May God bless you today. Kids camp starts tonight so I can't wait to see all of us put our missionary capabilities to practice right here. Much love-Anjali

Dear Zeke, thanks for your kind words. It is such an honor and privilage to be a part of this community myself. We really have a very powerful church family.

Keep me in your prayers brother.
Pastor Steve, we all can't wait to hear from you! Lord God, keep Your Holy hands above the brave team in Brazil.

Long night ahead, no work to do, plenty of time to pray. I've been viewing the photo albums on the missionary blogs and wishing I was there with my camera. Seeing some of the bugs, I know why the spiders have to be so big!! EEK! But I'm sure all those spider fears are gone by now.
Always praying! Love you.

Samuel is talking about going to Brazil now, too. Love you all.

Last night as I was outside praying I looked up into the sky and I realized you were all looking at the same sky in another country. I then saw all the stars and God said for every star in the sky there is a soul to save. I never thought of it that way. I am praying for motion sickness and for souls.
33.Laura · 08-01-2007 1:40:30

I will be praying for you tonight to be lead as the Holy Spirit leads and to not let the language barrier hold anyone back. We love you.
Donnell I love you and thank you for calling last night. It was truly a blessing to hear from you.
23.Martha Fickle · 07-29-2007 12:58:11
Yesterday I heard Chris Tomlin's version of the song Amazing Grace. It is VERY powerful. One of the verses goes.."My chains are gone I've been set free, my God my Savior has ransomed me. And Like a flood His mercy reigns. Unending love, amazing grace." So many Brazilian people will be able to truly say this because of the Lord's work through you. The Lord should me a picture of an enourmous amount of Brazilan hands raised in praise singing this chorus!!!
Praying, praying, praying.
Psalm 91:11 For He orders His angels to protect you WHEREVER you go."
22.Tracey · 07-29-2007 12:02:50
Wade,
God is opening a door for you. He wants you to take His hand and let Him lead you through it. I don't know what is on the other side in the natural world but I can tell you that spiritually it's full of light and amazing, beautiful colors. Always praying for you. The tongue sticking out is from Landon.
21.Tracey · 07-29-2007 11:58:05
I just got home from church and it was an amazing morning in God's presence! Several gave testimonies of God's faith, answered prayers and changed lives. God was ministering to us powerfully. I know He's doing the same for you. One praise you should know about, they raised around $3,000 yesterday at Gabby's benefit!! Praise God. We're praying for tonight, esp for you Carole. We know God is going to give you more than you need to reach the people of Brazil. You church family is behind you, loves you and is praying. I hope you feel the power of those prayers as much as we can. Love you.
