“ Go ye therefore and teach all nations….” Matthew
28:19
God has called US to bring His message to the world.
Through our involvement with Foreign Missions , we have developed
personal relationships with missionaries in Brazil, Haiti and Honduras.
These contacts have given us a true understanding of the needs
and
challenges one faces on the mission field in third world countries.
Poverty,
disease, water pollution, voudoo and a lack of government structure
are
some of the tests facing missionaries and those they serve.
…….But the battle is not ours, but the Lord’s
so with faith in God and
hope
in their hearts our missionaries continue in their calling.
The Barber family has been reaching the lost in Betim, Minas
Gerais,Brazil
for many years. Their ministry of starting churches and training
leaders has
carried them for miles over that vast country under difficult travel
conditions.
Their son, Daniel, of “Souls for Christ” has followed
the example of
his
parents.
He continues the work with adults as well as building schools and
orphanages.
We find more dedicated missionaries in Haiti, the country many
of us at
A.P.A.
are familiar with having spent weeks or months there as “short
term
missionaries”.
Two of these missions so well known to us are New Missions on the
Leogane
Plain and Living Hope Ministries in Mariani.
The volatile political situation has created an atmosphere of extreme
danger
and the need to really trust God! The work continues as our
missionaries
provide
physical and spiritual help for the Haitian people.
Escuela Vida Abundante in Cholutela, Honduras and the affiliated
church
are
growing in leaps and bounds!. Two single American ladies, with
their
commitment
and loving care, are responsible for the teaching, preaching and
feeding off
these
needy souls.
It is exciting to be a part of God’s plan of reaching out
to the
world!!
