Adventurers' Graduation

http://ameprograma.org/

Our AME program, Adventurers in Evangelistic Missions, had the graduation of the its second class. These young men and women served in Brazil (Natal-RN, Tatuí-SP) and Paraguay (Assuncion). They returned from the field with many new experiences, new loved ones in the Family, and excitement about what God has done in their lives.

We heard the same story from several, that after adjustments to the work, learning how to get around, or perfecting Spanish, trying to fit in the host congregation, about around the 10th month they finally started seeing results as their work seemed to began to flow, and then two months later, time to come home - a little disappointing to leave so soon.

But good news, guys and gals, you can let the Spirit flow through you wherever you are right now. Our King will definitely use you for His Kingdom throughout your lives.

Please pray for Amanda, Camilla, Daniela, Italo, Nathalia, Neto, and Pablo, that they will continue to be a blessing to the salvation of this lost world.

Two Weeks of VBS!

You might think that one week of 60 screaming, starving for attention kids is more than enough for the year, but no, here is João Pessoa we doubled the fun, doing a repeat of VBS back to back: four more days with the Mangabeira congregation. inviting the children who go to the school where the church meets. VBS is indeed a lot of fun, but a lot of work, the kids, though, who love it and who start getting a taste for God’s word for the first time make it worth it. Acting out the story of Joseph in Eygpt, teaching how God cares for us and blesses us, resurrecting King TUT (Jeremy Newlin) and the Mummy in skits that teaching these truths, are all part of creating an experience that boys and girls will remember for years. Lori Hagewood did an excellent job organizing this ministry, and we thank the Joelton church of Christ for ...

Missions In May

I will be traveling this weekend to Cajazeiras to teach an intensive seminar on "Faith and Obedience"over the weekend. Please pray for a safe trip and encouraging, edifying classes. The church in this city has a lot of young people. Most of whom have not grown up around Christian influences. In fact, many of them have seen more drug dealers than people imitating Christ. Helping them understand God's Word and the promises in which their faith is rooted is important for them, as well as any Christian. Helping them understand how that faith will be evident in their lives through words, actions and attitudes will be important for all of those around them. On May 13th , Joe McKinney and I will head out for Patos, returning on May 16th . Our goal is to discover church's needs and how to best help them. We will als...

Unity Through The Word

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 process...
