This will be my 3rd mission trip with Seacoast Church. The 1st mission trip was in July 2008 to Honduras, assisting a mission with construction at an orphanage. Last March, I was fortunate to be part of the Team sent to Project AmaZon (PAZ) in Santarém, Brazil to assist the mission with church construction and assess safe water issues.
After serving with the full-time missionaries at PAZ last year, my eyes and heart were opened to the great work in missions that the Lord has for all of His people. The missionaries at PAZ are some of the most dedicated folks I have served with in ministry. They truly have a love for Christ that is both genuine and contagious. I want what they have. PAZ is committed to “The Great Commission”, as commanded by Jesus Christ. They are busy planting churches, making disciples, and meeting people’s health, education, & safe water needs.
The mission trip last year was a reminder to me of how awesome God is and how He loves people of all nations and cultures. I was touched at the church services by how free the Brazilian believers worship the Lord. Although we needed translation for the language, our hearts were unified with them in our devotion to our Savior.
This year we have a great Team that God has assembled to work and evangelize in the Amazon basin. Please join me in praying for the following:
- Pray that God will bless the full-time PAZ missionaries spiritually, physically, and financially to do His work.
- Pray that this trip would encourage and forever change the lives of the people of the Amazon Basin.
- Pray that our Team would remain healthy, strong and unified.
To God be the Glory!
