MISSIONS MOMENT with Todd and Erika Carroll

Erika has been diligently teaching and working with the Advanced Studies in Cross-Cultural Missions students. She has been investing time and her talents. The course she has been teaching will allow students to thrive where there are no health care facilities and gain vital survival skills where there are no doctors available. 

 

Over the past four months we have spent many Sunday mornings and evenings speaking at various churches. One of our goals was to raise awareness about the persecuted church within the local Brazilian churches. We also shared about the Advanced Studies in Missions Program that is bringing students to a cultural  immersion in North Africa for the first time. Our desire was to mobilize the Brazilian church to support missions financially and in prayers and to send missionaries to areas where persecution is a reality.

Most of the students have never stepped foot outside of their country, or have ever been to a Muslim or African country. The Lord was very gracious and provided 140,000 Brazilian Reais (around $26,000) for the team of 13 to be able to travel, visit and encourage the persecuted church in North Africa.

Many times we thought this would be an impossible task to complete, but the Lord met our needs at the right time, even though it was the week before we are leaving.
