Working Together Our missionary work is the result of many people working together. As we look forward to returning to Brazil the end of December to begin our eighth missionary term we are again looking for people who are willing to commit to being a part of our team. You can do this by reading our letters, praying for us and helping financially. We want to thank those of you who have faithfully contributed to our regular support over the years. As we have persevered for over 25 years so have many of you – we are long-term missionaries together! We would also like to take this opportunity to let you know of some of the projects approved by the World Missions Committee that might be of interest to you as you consider donating money to missions. | Donations Gifts can be sent to AFLC World Missions 3110 E. Medicine Lake Blvd. Minneapolis, MN 55441. Please include a note with your gift explaining how you want your gift designated. You will receive a tax-deductible receipt from the Missions Office. If you prefer online giving, visit http://www.aflcworldmissions.org/wm/ and look at the left side of the page for a dropdown list to make your donation. | “They gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.” II Cor. 8:3-5 | | | | Personal Support Our salary and ministry funds are supplied by gifts designated to personal support. This is the fund that keeps us on the field sharing the Gospel with the Brazilian people. | National Leadership Conference Funds are allotted for offering a Leadership Conference for our Brazilian pastors and lay leaders once a year. Money helps provide for the conference as well as for transportation needs for those who live far away. Our pastors are poorly paid and this is one way we can bless them and encourage them in the ministry. | ARCA Bible Camp Scholarships Each year children and teens are blessed with the opportunity to go to Bible Camp because supporters donate money for this project. Many youths meet Christ at camp and others make important life and ministry decisions because of their time in this place. $50 helps subsidize one camper. | | | | | ARCA Bible Camp This fund helps with capital improvements at the camp. We are still in need of funds to complete the re-surfacing of the gymnasium floor which was our project for 2010. In 2011 there is a need for new bunk beds and mattresses | | ARCA Social Outreach As urgent social needs arise, this fund enables us to help people who are unable to meet basic needs – food, shelter, medicine, lab exams, rehabilitation and counseling, etc. | | Seminary Scholarships Money to this fund helps provide scholarships for students in Bible School and seminary as well as to provide educational opportunities for our national pastors. Student Work Fund This money goes to the Bible School and Seminary to provide work opportunities for on-campus students to offset the cost of their studies. | Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry! | | | | | |
