Summer 2013
Monica has received
per-mission from the doctors to travel, so we are getting ready for a mission
trip to Mozambique. The last time I (Jeff) went to Mozambique was Feb 2009; on
that trip Roger and John Leech accompanied me. This time, if God allows by
providing the resources, Monica and Isaac will be coming with me.
Our plans are to leave Brazil on Jun 11th and go back to Brazil on Jun 22nd.
Monica
will use art to teach the Bible to the children at the Hope School. She will
teach morning and afternoon classes from 1st to 8th grade; the school has over
1000 students.
We need donations of
school supplies (colored pencils, crayons, water base paint, etc.). You can
purchase these materials and send to us before May 1st, or you can send a gift
and Monica will purchase the material (More details call Monica 423-433-8537).
Monica will also
encourage Juracema (Brazilian missionary), and she will work with the women's
ministry in Nampula.
I (Jeff) will be
instituting the “Hands On” Bible College, for the church leaders. Leaders from
the 72 village churches will come together at the Hope Mission leadership
center and I will be teaching.
Isaac will use soccer
and other sports to witness to the school students.
We need your help to
make this mission trip possible, Kleber and Juracema are expecting us.
The cost
for this mission trip for each is:
USD$1.600 BR/MOZ/BR Airfare
USD$
80 Visa cost to Mozambique
USD$
220 Lodging and Food in MOZ
USD$1.900 Total X 3 = USD$5.700 (Jeff, Monica and Isaac)
Would you, please,
help us make this mission trip a reality? Send your gifts to BROLM (Brazil
River of Life Ministries), please; write MOZ MISSION TRIP on the memo. Thank
you very much!
HIGHLIGHTS IN FEBRUARY
Children's Outreach
Please, continue to
pray for this monthly outreach at Varzea Paulista; we plan to plant a church in
this location in the near future and God has given the strategy to reach the
people at this location for Christ through children's outreach.
Youth Outreach
With the participation
of the youth groups from the churches of Bom Retiro, Campinas, Campo Limpo
Paulista and Sao Mateus, the Pirituba church promoted this youth outreach.
Ice Cream Party
With the purpose of
raising funds for the ceiling at the Jundiai church, they promoted an ice-cream
party and with the funds they have raised, church members started to work on
the ceiling for the Sunday School Classes.
Youth Camp
Sao Mateus and Campinas
Churches promoted a youth camp during the last weekend of the month.
Mozambique
By faith, Kleber and
Juracema have started to build a home at the Hope Mission for them to live in, and
receive visitors that come to help the ministry. God willing, if the house is
ready, we will stay with them in the new home.
Short Term Mission Trip
We are open to receive
individuals, groups, teams that would like to come and help us in Brazil during
the summer (May through August). We can take a group of up to 10 persons for up
to 10 days at a time.
This summer we need to
paint Pirituba’s church building inside and out. If you would like to come to
preach, teach and sing, we can use you to minister at the churches from Tuesday
to Sunday.
Please, plan to come
to Brazil this summer; if not this summer plan to come in 2014, 2015 or
2016.
If you would like to
come with us to Mozambique, please get in touch with us as soon as possible and
we will be happy to have you come.
Please, continue to
pray for BRoLM, and for Jeff and Monica. Your prayers and support are vital for
us! Thanks!
God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!
In HIS Love and Service,
