CHARLES SPURGEON said, "If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world.."
We're joyfully preparing to receive our six TREK7 college-age missionaries from the United States. They're being sent from their churches for such a time as this, during the World Cup, to join us in our efforts to combat sex trafficking...students walking strongly with the Lord and on fire---with a white heat fervor---to share the gospel of Christ!
We've been spending a great amount of time in prayer and in the Word. As well, we've been selecting our training topics, editing our mentoring and discipleship materials and preparing the Mission house. We're praising God that we've had abundant water with our new water system and have had a lot of rain recently.
We're thrilled that we will have six weeks to pour into the lives of these these young college-age Christ followers! We are excited to not only give them a taste of ministry here in Rio, but, as well, we're anxious to see how the Lord will use each one of them during their time here!
We'll spend time mentoring and discipling these youth, giving them opportunities to learn how to street evangelize, share their faith and experience ministry in Brazilian culture.
Our focus will be to combat human trafficking during the World Cup in Rio's oldest and largest red light district, Vila Mimosa. What the enemy is putting together for destruction, we will use for God's glory! We'll walk where Jesus would walk and take our light into the darkness and watch the Lord work in amazing ways! Without a doubt Christ's free gift of salvation will be rejected but God has rewards waiting for those in heaven and so every time we share His message, we win!
Luke 6:22 & 23 says, "Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets."
Please join us in praying as we pray, evangelize and make disciples...pray for effective ministry and fruit that remains!
Blessed to be serving our Majestic King Jesus,
Diane and Jeff
