Safe and Sound in Louisiana
Posted on Monday, January 25, 2010 at 10:57 PM by Paul Kovach
We made it! Another safe trip to the Deep South. Thank you all for your prayers. When I stepped out of the van this evening tears came to my eyes because the smell in the air was such a strong reminder of Brazil and the strong desire to be back there reaching the Brazilians for Christ! Pray for us while we our down here. We have many meetings, starting with a missions conference this week. Pray that we will see many of these churches partner with our ministry and that we will leave this place with the majority of the remaining support that we need.
While at the hotel last night, we had a couple of visitors. My children were absolutely thrilled! Most hotels do not allow pets, but this one supplied them.

What a Blessing in Louisiana and an added surprise!
Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 at 9:28 PM by Paul Kovach
We just finished a 4 week trip in Louisiana. We were originally supposed to be there for just over 2 weeks, but the Lord brought other meetings across our path while we were there. When we first arrived, the heat was over 100 degrees with humidity about 80% or more. Kinda like Brazil can be! We praise the Lord that we saw 3 new churches partner with our ministry on this 4-week trip! When we got home, you can see below what we came home to!

Enoch is whith Christ!
Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 at 9:11 PM by Ashley Kovach
We had been waiting for the passing of the third month to announce that Ashley was expecting. As we went in for the four-month checkup the doctors were unable to find the child’s heartbeat. A second visit with a confirming ultrasound showed that we had indeed lost the child. On June 27th we held a burial for the baby boy whom we chose to name Enoch. He was not for God took him. We praise the Lord for His grace and for the hope that we have in Christ that we will see Enoch again. We thank the many of you who uphold our family in your prayers as God uses them in large part to help us through these trials.

Ashley's Testimony on Unshackled
Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 at 2:43 PM by Paul Kovach
As most of you know, Ashley has a written testimony in booklett form titled "A Trophy of God's Grace." Unshackled, a ministry in Chicago, came accross a copy of her testimony and contacted her in the fall as to dramatizing it. This past January they, for the most part, used the written testimony as a script, and produced here testimony in a dramatized fashion. It will be airing on the radio during the week of April 26-May2. If you are unable to hear it during those times, they will have it available on their website at this Location if you click here. It was aired 04.26.09.

New Van
Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009 at 2:18 PM by Paul Kovach
Another step completed in preparations to move to Brazil. One of my concerns was that of being able to sell our vehicle once we were ready to depart to Brazil. Also, traveling with 8 members (5 of which are in car seat) was getting quite cramped. The Lord brought us to a ministry based out of MO, Baptist Missionary Transportation Ministry, which leases vehicles for missionaries. They also purchased our van in the form of equity towards the lease of the new van. It is a 12 passenger Chevy Express. I almost feel like I need an intercom to communicate with the children in the back! What a Blessing!

Supplying the front Lines
Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 at 12:19 PM by Paul Kovach
While staying with a local church I came across a stack of uncut John and Romans New Testaments. Upon inquiry, I found that the church had ordered them all for a project for a missionary in Brazil, but it never was finished. The pastor said that if I wanted them, they were mine. Since then I have been working to cut, box, and ship the Bibles to our team in Brazil as when I have extra money from time to time. While at another church meeting, a family found about the project and provided a love gift to provide for shipping 7 boxes. It took till about 2 a.m., but I was able to get all the remaining Bibles cut, boxed, and ready to ship with another 8 boxes ready for shipping as the Lord provides us with the extra funds.
Please be in earnest prayer as we are coming upon another very busy travel time in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Also please pray as we have 4-5 other churches voting in the next few week to take us on for support. Oh, before I forget, we praise the Lord for yet another new supporting church. That makes 5 new churches in the month of March!

Posted on Sunday, March 08, 2009 at 10:27 PM by Paul Kovach
Our family has been in Pennsylvania for the past 3 ½ weeks. We have been extremely busy with being in a church every Monday and Wednesday. Our last meeting here is this coming Sunday before we head home. The Lord has been moving mightily while we have been here. When we came to Pennsylvania we had 62 percent of our support. Now, as we depart, we are just at 70 percent after having gained 3 new supporting churches! Thank you for all of your prayers for our family! Please continue to pray as we have several churches preparing to vote in the next few weeks in regards to partnering with our family to reach the Brazilians for Christ. We believe 80 percent by this spring and 100 percent by the end of the year is within reach! Pray, Pray, Pray!
I really liked how this church decorated for their missions conference!
