Tia Beliza

By

Beliza Patricia is an amazing young lady. When she decided to follow Christ as a teenager, it was for good - no matter what! She entered our AME program and worked as a missionary in Bahia for a year. She spent months in the hospital caring for her mother with terminal cancer. She took on the responsibility of providing for her and her sister with tutoring when her mother was gone. They adopted their ten-year old brother, the son of her mother's previous husband, Kauã (no blood relation). She has visited several countries in South America and Europe, and speaks four languages. All this before the age of twenty-three. Recently she just graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering.

She loves teaching children about Jesus, having organized our VBS's the years after Lori Hagewood and Monica Newlin left João Pessoa. She also is the organizer and teacher of our FBS (Fun Bible School) on Sundays.

When the pandemic hit, the children's classes stopped, but Fun Bible School continued on Youtube. With her sister Bianca filming, she and Kauã have poured their creativity into video classes that have attracted children from Portuguese-speaking countries around the world. "Auntie" Beliza uses science and nature to share lessons about God and His will. They upload a new lesson each week.

Yesterday, Beliza took FBS to the next level: a version in English to reach even more children for Jesus.

And please say a prayer for Beliza, Bianca, and Kauã, that God will continue to do incredible things through them and their faith!

Unity Through The Word

By
          Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month.  It was a great blessing.  We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day.  There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them.  In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying.            It started around 9:30 am.  We broke for lunch at 1 pm.  We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm.  They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm.  If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven.           My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible.  My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions.            This is no

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
