You Are Invited – Brazil Trip February 2024

We are planning a trip to the Amazon region for February 8-15, 2024. The purpose of this trip is to work alongside our Brazilian brothers and sisters to make God’s glory known in the village of Tucumã. Our sister church, New Jerusalem Baptist in Santarem, has been working here for a couple of years to make disciples and establish a church. We have the opportunity to help and encourage our Brazilian friends in this effort. We will fly to the city of Santarem on the Amazon and then go by boat up the Arapiuns River to the village of Tucumã. We will stay on the boat, sleeping in hammocks while we are there. You are invited to prayerfully consider coming along.
Our motivation for going on this trip should be to show the love of Christ to the Brazilian people and to experience sharing the gospel in another culture. It is a great way for us to be exposed to other cultures and languages.
We do not have an abundance of time to prepare for the trip. We will all need passports. If you do not already have one you can apply online at this address: Apply for a new adult passport | USAGov. They say we should allow up to 11 weeks for passports to be processed. To have it by February 1, we should apply asap.
The cost of the trip will be $2000 per person. You will need to provide this from your own funds and/or raise it from others. We are asking for that to be turned in in the following increments: $100 now to get your name on the list, $500 more by December 1, another $1,000 by December 30, and the remaining $500 by January 15. We encourage you to ask for help raising this money from friends and family, preferably from some outside of Moss Brook Church.
Let’s be asking God to prepare our hearts to serve Him in Brazil, and that He will prepare the hearts of the people to whom we will be ministering. *Time is of the essence!* For more information or to sign up please contact David Shaw. (207) 689-6988.
