Faithful through adversity
IMB personnel in Manaus, Brazil send their thanks
for a team of volunteers from FBC, Daytona, FL and Sardis Springs
BC, Athens, AL which came to work with the MKs during field meeting.
Satan did everything he could to keep this team from coming. The
assistant pastor that was originally the team leader was killed
in an automobile accident on Christmas Eve and there was a question
whether the team would go...After much prayer they felt the Lord
was telling them to go. They did not receive their visas until the
day before they were to leave due to having to secure a special
letter confirming the need for the team and there were other hitches
along the way. They did a great job with the MKs and gave them experiences
that are not available to them in country. They worked at the local
orphanage, carried out door-to-door witnessing, and held a two-day
Bible School with the local children. God really blessed their faithfulness
and determination to push on.
