Bound for MANAUS - Meet Anderson

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Werica and Anderson have decided to change their original plans to go to Mozambique later this year.  The costs of the trip are very high and another opportunity arose that is much more viable and applicable to the learning experience both wish to gain on a missions trip.

Anderson was also highlighted in a post here on the blog.  He and Werica have been presented with the chance to accompany Wordless Ministries on a missions trip to the Amazon region of Brazil.   This trip will be July 1 - 11 of this year.   Each participant needs about US$500 to go on the trip.  

Please pray with us that 
Anderson, Werica and two others - Eliana and Luis Vinicius
from our church group will be able to take part in this event.  
We are very proud of all of our young people and are encouraged in their interest in world missions.

 

Meet Anderson Souza


Anderson is a great fellow.  He is currently the leader of our young people's group and worship leader of our church services.  He studies at the local Bible institute and helps in our Bible clubs and with evangelism.  His desire to serve the Lord knows no limits from menial tasks like painting a wall or digging a ditch to getting all spruced up to stand in front of a crowd and lead music.


Last year he was part of the MCG Venezuela team helping with construction and evangelism.  The year before that he went along with the youth from our church to help a work in the interior of another state with Bible clubs and street evangelism.  He desires to serve the Lord in our local congregation to the best of his ability with a heart for missions.


In August of this year, Anderson hopes to go with Ministério Cristã Global to Mozambique.  This will be  their third missions team project.  In 2014 the group sent almost 30 to work in Mozambique.  Some of you helped as William went on this trip.  In 2015 was the Venezuela trip of which Anderson participated, and this year the group will go back to Mozambique.


Would you PRAY for Anderson as he works over the next few months to raise funding for this great work and for other's who will be going.  Next I'll share the testimony of one other young person in our church who hopes to go to Mozambique this summer. 

A verse he would like to share with you is - Romans 10:15

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

The group with whom Anderson will travel is a local ministry of area Baptist churches.

The Big Orange Cat

Do you boys remember that big orange cat at the mission house in North Carolina?  That was a special day for me.  I don't have a new story for this Friday.  I've had a long week, but my mind kept going back to that cat this week as I thought about what I would post for you boys today.  Click on the link down below to go back to my big people blog and reread the cat story if you like. Oh, by the way, this morning I made a special trip down to the other end of our town to see the guinea pigs being sold at a grocery store.  This particular store sells medicine and feed for all kinds of animals.  This month they are selling guinea pigs, baby chickens, and dachshund puppies!  Their guinea pigs looked very healthy.  They are selling them for BR$10 each or BR$15 for a pair.  Uncle Byron said that he was glad I didn't bring any home with me! One more thing - this week a mama possum came in our yard.  The dogs chased it and Girl Dog let out a squ...

On the Road Again

Our first weekend back in Lage was hard. We were jet-lagged and unsure what to expect. Thankfully, the woman helping with the children still had lessons left in the book I’d given her and agreed to finish them, giving me a break for the first few weeks. Byron jumped right into the Friday and Sunday Bible studies. Saturday afternoon, we visited our faithful friend Jué, grandmother of Max, the boy in a wheelchair near Lage. Byron went to soccer, where more boys showed up than ever! An unsaved man helps with the older boys, and a church teenager has been helping with the younger ones. Our second weekend coincided with the first round of presidential elections. Friday attendance was low, and soccer was cancelled because the school served as a polling place. The Sunday street fair was moved to Saturday. We still hadn’t seen the family who had been attending Bible studies at the church, but we visited Jué again. On Sunday, people kept passing the church on their way to vote. Several question...

Sabbatical?

Last month we traded the dirt roads of Bahia for the smooth highways of the USA.  We took off four weeks to visit with family, see one son be ordained, visit with another in the new state where he and wife are living and see our youngest grandson turn 4! It was a fast trip, and every day was full to the brim.  So, calling it a "sabbatical" may be a falsehood!  Rest, we did not.  But, refreshed and just a little renewed, I think we are.  Stay tuned over the next week as I finish up a video letter all about our trip. The funny thing about such trips is the desire to plan the next one right way!  Does that take away from my call to missions?  No, not in the least, but it does make me consider how often we need to "go home" and "take a break" from what we do without the need to visit all our churches. Furlough and sabbatical are not synonyms.  Furlough means visiting a different church every week.  Sabbatical is supposed to mean rest.  I hop...
