A very gifted friend of mine described me as an “armor bearer”. The thoughts included, “A leader called to help and assist the Apostles in their work. You build up other leaders and help carry their burdens. A Servant’s heart and humility make you a loyal and valuable friend. You worship in spite of suffering, not a whiner or complainer but an encourager. ” Living up to these prophetic words is my daily challenge.
My first trip to the Amazon basin was in 2006. This first trip to Brazil was preceded by a mission trip to Scotland. As I traveled to Brazil, I wondered what God planned for me in this country so different from home. Growing up in a rural community, I never thought of going to Brazil. My view of the world came through National Geographic. When I returned from Brazil in 2006, I knew God wanted me to experience His brothers and sisters in other cultures. He placed me with some of the most wonderful people on earth in Brazil and Scotland and later in Honduras. No matter where we served, people opened their hearts to our team and blessed us greatly.
We need your prayers for this trip and in particular for:
* Pray that God would strengthen our team spiritually and keep them healthy;
* Pray for divine moments where God will lead us to His relationships;
* Pray for increase in community between Seacoast Church, other state side churches, and PAZ.
*Pray for our leadership to be as God would lead.
*Pray for the long-term missionaries we work with in Brazil
