Missions Moment: Todd & Erika Carroll, serving in Brazil

Last month, we traveled to the interior region of Brazil known as the Sertão—a land often characterized by poverty, dryness, and a people deeply familiar with suffering.  It took us 14 hours by car to reach the city hosting a mission conference, with the goal of mobilizing people from Sertão to engage in ministry locally, nationally, and internationally.

Brazil is the second largest sender of missionaries in the world, behind only the United States.  We are grateful to be investing in our seminary, which is actively training and sending missionaries to the unreached parts of Brazil and around the globe.

During the conference, Erika and Todd worked tirelessly.  Over 800 people attened regularly, and on one of the final days, we witnessed a powerful response as many individuals surrendered their lives to missions.

We are thankful for safe travels, with no incidents on the long road there and back—though Erika did come close to hitting a few goats along the way!  Ironically, we’re pretty sure we also ate quite a bit of goat meat during our time there.

To read more about the conference and their visit from their home church in West Memphis as well as see many photos, visit the hallway bulletin board.
