AIM III: AME

By

    With so many Brazilian young people showing an interest in AIM and due to the language, cultural, and financial obstacles, Raniere Menezes envisioned an AIM-like program for Brazil. It is called AME (imperative form of the verb to love) stands for Adventurers in Evangelistic Missions. Check out the site in Portuguese: www.ameprograma.org .  
    The purpose is to prepare young people willing to work in the Kingdom and connect them with congregations in South America that need help. The program is divided into two phases: 8 months of intensive classes and practical training and 18 months working on the field with a church.
    Raniere even visited the AIM institution, Lubbock, TX, gathered ideas, and discussed possible help since they have the experience of decades of encouraging youth for missions.
    We plan to start the first class of five young men on July 9th. Please pray that God will use this effort for results lasting years and years to come.

Sharing Jesus in Mexico

By
by Renato Menezes   Renato is the second young person from João Pessoa to go through the Adventures in Missions program. His 18 months is Mexico is about to end, and undoubtedly he has grown tremendously in his faith during these past two years.     Here is his report on his personal Bible studies:       Praise God I started studying the Bible with one more person since last month, raising the number of weekly Bible studies to four.     Ema is one of the main people that work at the orphanage where we have a ministry (the children from there call her mother). She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib
