Evangelistic support in Marabá, Pará

Image
T oday I want to talk about the work carried out in the north of Brazil, in the state of Pará. In Marabá, Pará, we started a Support Point with the evangelist couple Nelson and Andreia. This couple serves the region in a Kombi that they have modified to make it a real home, as in many places there is nowhere to sleep, cook or have a place to rest. Thus, they transformed their Kombe into a "motohome" to attend evangelistic trips. Nelson and Andreia have supported many evangelists who are living in small villages in the Amazon jungle. They work during the dry season, as during the rainy season in the Brazilian Amazon it is almost impossible to drive through many roads. Several shipments of materials have already been sent to this Support Point, totaling 9 tons of printed material. The material is given out free of charge and the evangelists do the work by reaching out to families who are living in the middle of the Amazon jungle. I'm going to leave a video where Pastor Nels...

We continue to fight on the mission field

 We have been through many struggles in the mission field. Many have abandoned support, but we have continued to advance.

And the souls of sinners in Uruguay?

  Yesterday I received messages from evangelists who are in Uruguay. These warriors for Christ are so happy to know that we are working hard for their country. An evangelist seeing the many boxes with evangelistic booklets entering Paraguay wrote to me: "Pastor, Uruguay also needs the gospel" I went to find out why to use the expression "Uruguay also needs". Why "also"? Then the brother told me that the churches work in other countries and nobody looks at Uruguay. This same cry for help I have heard from evangelists in Europe. "Nobody helps us" - This is the phrase I hear constantly. I remembered that a few years ago a Brazilian missionary was in Spain and asked for materials for evangelism. I had the materials in our Support Base in Bolivia and I needed resources for shipping. So I went to talk to several leaders and they all denied help. The justification is that the people of the church do not want to offer in missionary work in Europe. Yester...

Has leaflet evangelism worked?

Image
  EVANGELISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAM In the last few days I've been working a lot for our trip to Uruguay, but today I woke up with this thought: "What if you do evangelism in your city?" Yes, I'm talking about you reading this email. What if you take the written Word of God into your own city? Usually, when I encourage the brothers, the answer is: "Here in my city / or country, this type of work is not working." In South America tract evangelism works, but not here in Europe. In Brazil, evangelism using printed materials works very well, but here in the United States or Canada it does not work. Well I want you to look at the map right below Can you notice that in the south region of Brazil we don't have many Support Points? We have a Support Point in Paraguay serving the entire nation, we have several Support Points in the northeast region of Brazil and I want to draw your attention that the Support Points in the north and northeast regions of Brazil were sta...

Evangelists in Uruguay

  EVANGELISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAM I've been talking to several evangelists in Uruguay and looking for ways to get the materials out. Unfortunately, the two missions that send materials all over the world have no one receiving evangelistic materials in Uruguay. Thus, we discard the possibility of sending to some missions that already does the import work. Sending by Uruguayan post is complicated, as there is a fee to withdraw. That is, even if we pay the shipping, the evangelists will have to pay a fee to remove the boxes. Ecuador, Bolivia and other countries in South America charge this fee and it complicates the work for evangelists. You can tell me that every evangelist can look for ways to pay. But, brother, usually evangelists are poor people and use the little resources to get around and carry out the work, as well as their own maintenance. What we seek to do is precisely to place the written Word of God in the hands of evangelists by participating in the work they do. We have a ...

Flood South America with the Word of God

Image
  EVANGELISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAM The year 2023 was a pivotal year for major design changes. This year we completely changed our work strategy, mainly in view of the great difficulty we had in serving the Support Points within Brazil. In 2021, we started opening several Support Points within Brazil, but the cost of taking materials to each Support Point was high. So we had the need to open Support Bases in strategic regions both for the delivery of materials within Brazil, as well as for distribution. The target has been to reduce freight costs and serve the largest number of Support Points and, consequently, have a greater reach of lives with the Word of God. I will leave a video below with one of the containers that we have received in South America. This video was recorded at the Support Base in Pailon in Bolivia in October 2020 and this is a 40-foot container with 4225 boxes with literature. This is just one of the missions that send materials for our project. In another email I c...

Brethren ask for evangelistic materials

Image
  Yesterday I received several messages from evangelists who are in the city of Juazeiro da Bahia. In 2021 we took 2675 kilos of printed materials for evangelism. I traveled to the region and spent three days visiting the Support Point giving instructions on how leaders should work in support of evangelists. The result was wonderful, as many groups were mobilized from various churches. There was an awakening to evangelistic work not only in the local town, but we started to mobilize groups from the neighboring small towns. Below I will leave the video with images made by the local brothers of the materials arriving in Juazeiro da Bahia. The video has subtitles in English, German, French and other languages Well, the material has already been used and we have had great results. During the year 2022 we received wonderful information from churches in very small towns in the region being mobilized and many lives being reached by the gospel. Yesterday the current leader of the Support P...

3 tons of evangelistic material

Image
  EVANGELISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAM Since 2021 we started work in the northern region, but I realized that we would not make progress because the leader did not have a greater vision in the evangelistic work. We already have experience that starting a Support Point with someone who is focused on pastoral work will not advance further evangelistic support. Many pastors believe that supporting evangelism work won't be a lot of work, but it really is a lot of work. Thus, as is to be expected from pastors, the pastoral work of the church is prioritized and work in support of evangelism is left behind. Well, even so, the work was done a little slowly and was completed a long time later. The problem is that we will not have continuity, as we do not intend to continue working with the same leader there, but we pray for someone who has a greater vision in the evangelistic work. When God places the right person in our path, we will return to work in the region. Please pray with us on this goal. ...

Rearguard missionaries l REFLECTION

Image
 Don't think that those who do missions are just those in the field. Analyzing the Scriptures we find the story of the widow of Serepta. She was not called by God to prophesy to the king, to leave her land, none of that. She was called to support a project of God that was in progress. And who called that woman? Who appointed and chose that woman for that job? God himself called that widow to support the ministry of the prophet Elijah. Thus, she had a call from God and she was a participant in the work that Elijah himself was involved in. The God who called and inserted Elijah in that mission also called that widow to keep the mission The Word of God says: “Arise, go to the Serephath of Sidon, and dwell there. I commanded a widow woman there to support you ′′ (1 Kings 17.9). I don't find in the Word that that woman was aware that God had involved her in the prophet's work. Now she was part of the prophet Elijah's project without even knowing it, but she was part of it. P...

Evangelism in Paraguay

Image
  The good news we have is that we got a port to equip the Support Point in Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. The likelihood is that we will receive 1500 kilos of printed materials initially in Paraguay, so we won't need to bring the evangelistic materials from Brazil. I believe that soon I will be giving more information about the evangelistic work in Paraguay. We maintain the target of having Support Points in each country in South America. The doors are being opened day by day. Thank you very much for the prayers I want to invite you who are following our blog posts to follow our channel. The videos are recorded in Portuguese, but we have a playlist with subtitles in English, German, French and other languages. Whenever we have a new video talking about the project and with subtitles, we will be sending it by email and posting it on our blog. CLICK HERE to access the playlist. Thank you very much for your attention and keep praying for our lives

The work to support evangelism advances

Image
 We praise God for each brother who has helped us to pay the freight to the Support Points. Our great challenge has been the Support Points within Brazil. Please pray for this goal. We are advancing in the northern region of Brazil, entering Venezuela and British Guiana. We thank the brothers who helped us by paying the freight for the evangelistic material to arrive in the region. God bless you greatly

How much does it cost to disobey?

Image
What is the price of leaving the place of God's will? How much does it cost not to come to the purpose and seek your own ways? Dear brother, if you leave God's will you will pay the consequences and the price of disobedience is very high . God bless you

Evangelism in the Brazilian Amazon region

We are receiving daily information about the work done in the northern region of Brazil. The first shipment of material has already arrived in the hands of Brother Cezias and soon we want to send another shipment of material. Our aim is to support the evangelists who are in the state of Roraima in Brazil, as well as the evangelists in Venezuela and British Guiana pray for us PHOTO: Here we have Brother Cezias with the first boxes of printed materials. Pray for the work that Cezias is doing in that needy region of Brazil

Supporting evangelists from Bolivia

Image
Evangelists are daily taking the Word of God to the people. They don't preach to earn money, but they use their own money to pay for bus tickets, buy equipment and also buy printed materials to distribute to the people. Usually churches don't do support, but we understand the work they do and we support them. I know that buying printed materials is very expensive and it is more difficult for those who have little, but we can help these warriors and give away the written Word of God for free We move forward with the work and we are reaching thousands of lives with the Word of God PHOTO: This is one of the evangelists from Bolivia. Materials are given free of charge and all we ask evangelists for is information on the work being done, how it is being used and where they are using the materials.

Supporting Evangelists in Bolivia

The support work for the evangelists in Bolivia is still going strong. In 2022 Bolivia received three containers with evangelistic materials and this year another container is being prepared for Bolivia. I believe that by the beginning of 2024 we will be receiving it on a distribution basis. pray for us  PHOTO : Some boxes with evangelistic materials at a Support Point in Bolivia. We currently have 10 Support Points across the nation of Bolivia

We have subtitled the video above in English, German, French and other languages. Turn on Youtube subtitles so you can read

Gold dust in missions work

Image
 We continue to work to bring the Word of God to every gospel needy region in the nation of Bolivia. The number of registered evangelists who receive materials for free grows every month and at the beginning of May four more Support Points were created within Bolivia Below I will put a video where I show the arrival of a container with printed materials for evangelism in Bolivia. This container arrived in October 2020. Only in the year 2022 Bolivia received three more containers with which we are working in Bolivia and also supporting the evangelists in the southern region of Peru The video is in Portuguese, but I put subtitles in English, German, French and other languages. Currently, our target is to open Support Points in each country in South America. We are already working in Paraguay, we are entering Peru through the border with Bolivia, we serve some evangelism groups in the northern region of Argentina, in May of this year we sent the first shipment of material to Uruguay a...

Pray for the Support Point in Juazeiro da Bahia

Image
In 2021, we started a Support Point in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Almost 3 tons of printed materials were taken to the city of Juazeiro da Bahia. Through Sister Elenice's work, many local evangelists were located and support was provided free of charge. Unfortunately Elenice had to move her residence to São Paulo and we were left without a local leader. We are praying that God will give us the conditions to reactivate the Support Point in the city of Juazeiro da Bahia The video above has subtitles in English, German, French and other languages. Turn on Youtube subtitles to watch. We have a series of videos recorded when we were in Juazeiro da Bahia. Unfortunately we didn't have time to put subtitles, but you can watch it through automatic subtitles on Youtube Click the link to watch the videos - click here God bless you and we count on your prayers

Evangelism in Bolivia 2023

Image
The support work continues in full growth in Bolivia. We have worked for 15 years in Bolivia to organize 5 Support Points within Bolivia and from January 2021 to the present date we have doubled the number of Support Points within the nation of Bolivia. Until 2020 we received a 40ft container to serve evangelists from Bolivia and the border region, but currently with the growing number of evangelists we have increased the number of materials. By the end of 2022, we had received 3 containers with printed materials. Keep praying for this missionary work
