Happy Christmas! The field report highlights current needs of the missionaries. Please consider partnering with us.
The Apostle John wrote in Revelation that he saw every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne in heaven praising God. Missions exists to this end. John Piper says it best “Worship is the goal and the fuel of missions: Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” We count it a privilege and joy to know and worship Christ, and we want everyone to know this joy and the peace, hope, and love that come with it.
We are thankful that you follow what we are doing to further the Kingdom of God here in Brazil. To end the year, we want to share the specific needs of the missionaries on the field. Please partner with one of the missionaries and consider how you can generously fuel missions to bring about worship.
Steve and Elba Dolan – Steve and Elba moved to Belém, Pará, and have started a church plant there, beginning with a small group in their home. It is a capital city, and the cost of living is higher for them. They are also looking into moving the filter project to Belém. Steve oversees the Altamira/Macapá base. Elba is a national and regional church leader. They are looking for 15 people committed to giving $50 a month to partner with them.
Keith and Marsha Wilson – Keith and Marsha are church planting in Palmas, Tocantins also a capital city. They have started with a small group in their home. They also assist in training leaders in a sister church. Keith oversees the Pacajá/Palmas base. Marsha oversees the water filter project. The Palmas base needs to increase monthly operation support by $500 monthly (10 people giving $50).
Christopher and Denise Meyer – Christopher and Denise are the senior pastors of two churches in Macapá and are involved in training other leaders. They are constantly running short of financial resources. They need to increase $500 in monthly contributions.
Bob Lesher – Bob assists with the churches in Macapá. He focuses on an outreach ministry. Please consider helping financially with this outreach by giving to Macapá.
Derek and Amanda Blaylock – Derek and Amanda continue their language learning and cultural adaptation as they get more involved in serving the churches in Macapá. They are in need of larger one-time gifts for ministry and travel expenses coming up. They also need to increase their monthly support.
We are blessed to be a blessing. Consider these needs as 2023 closes, and you make plans for the coming year. God bless!
