ENDORSED! The Foreign Mission Panel recently voted to endorse “Project Timothy,” the church planting plan of the Sterling, Ohio GBC and Tubalina, Brazil GBC. Three church planters who submitted written plans were endorsed. They are Egon Paulitzch (pictured left), Jusleimar de Silva (center) and Magno de Alcantara (pictured with his family on the right). Below is a recent report of Magno's endeavors: Peace and Grace to my Brethren in Christ:
Already a month has passed since we began to really work the plan in the Lord's harvest. Never before has Matthew 13 been so alive and real in my mind. So that you can be praying for this ministry, I want to give you some details of our strategy.
Sowing: For a week we presented the "Signs of the Gospel of John" (knocking from door to door) 18 hours.
Soils: (by the wayside and among thorns) When we offer the tracts it is rare that people refuse them. But when we return the next day to know if the folks read them, the people respond in various ways:
“No, I will read it some day.” “I didn't have time.” “No, but I do my religious obligations.” “No, I worked the whole day and didn't have time.”
During the week, the people keep working on a relationship. After a week, we speak of the love of God and give our testimony, inviting them to study the Word of God, to know God more deeply.
Soil (shallow and good soil) We follow up with responsive folks from house to house studying John 3. We try to set up a weekly study on the Purpose of Life.
Statistical Data: 60 people took the tract (Signs) 12 people studied John 3 4 people began the Purpose of Life study (Alessandra, Cida, Eliane, Luciana).
Joys: Alexsandra with all of her chores at home has gone out with me both to evangelize and to study with the women. The children also have helped us to "break the ice" when we are passing out the tracts.
I rejoice to see God working in my own family and in the lives of those who are seeking God. |
