Hi Friends, I just received this email 5 minutes ago. It is from a young Brazilian pastor who moved into one of the quilombo villages several years ago to live among and disciple the people there. God strongly burdened my heart to help financially support this man who is answering God's call to share the gospel with his own people!
He can live in the quilombo for $200 USD a month in addition to his small teaching salary. When the Jefferson's told me about his life, ministry, and financial need I decided that it would be a great use of the excess money that was donated towards my season in Brazil! Several months ago I was able to send him 4 months worth of support (that many of you gladly gave...amen!) through the International Mission Board, and it is time to do so again! I have enough for another 4 months but am going to start getting the word out so that others can send in a months support. It's insane how much it costs an American to do the work he is doing (though they are needed also!) so let's stretch our money because many of us can spare $100-$200 easily...while for others $50 will be a huge sacrifice that they will make with joy!
He must have hitched a ride to town and gone to an internet cafe to send me (us) the following email...
