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...

My Promise Verse

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take:  when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. This verse has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. When I was a high school senior at a Christian school in Virginia, Job 23:10 was chosen as our class theme verse. At our graduation commencement, the valedictorian and saludatorian in their addresses that day divided the verse in its two natural parts as a basis for the core of each one's address. I was the salutatorian of my senior class that year.  I chose to speak of how God would one day reward our faithfulness and thus, we should always strive to remain true. For many years though, the first part of the verse haunted me in a way. As a missionary especially when times were lonely or difficult, I assumed it was my "trial" or "test," and as such must be accepted in all humility. As I have grown older, I have begun to look more toward the pearly gates and have reconsidered the thr...

Catching Canoes with Tennis Shoes

This was originally posted on my old Yahoo!360 blog on November 8, 2006.  Today is a good day to re-post it!  For years we have prayed for a man to come along side Byron and help him with the work of the boat and the camp.  Recently it seemed that God had, in a unique way, answered those prayers.  Then suddenly everything was turned upside down this week, and I began to wonder if I would have to start "catching canoes with tennis shoes" again!  But our God is indeed an Awesome God and knows all things.  Read on and a little later I'll tell the rest of the story with our recent test of patience and prayer in the area of the camp and help for our work here in Sobradinho. The photo below was not included in my original post, by the way... Children's Retreat, July 2010 November 8, 2006--- I have no photo today since no one had a camera in hand during this little adventure.  As we were leaving the canal where the boat is usually kept to go ...
