Are you packing a shoebox to share the love of Jesus with a child in need on the other side of the world?  Monday, November 24, noon,  is the deadline to turn them in.  We are also continuing to raise funds for the shipping and processing of the boxes we packed as a group.  You can give through the offering by indicating “OCC” on the memo line of your check.

We will not have a Second Sunday Lunch in December.  Instead, we will have a finger food fellowship following Candlelight Carols on the evening of December 21.

MISSIONS MOMENT with Todd & Erika Carroll in Brazil

Erika recently traveled to São Paulo to attend a Brazilian missions conference that gathered over 2,400 participants — most of them missionaries or ministry leaders serving around the world. Brazil is now the second largest missionary-sending nation globally, and it’s incredible to see how the Lord is using Brazilians to advance the Gospel.

It was an enriching opportunity to connect, learn about what God is doing through missions in Brazil and beyond, and most of all, to listen to the Lord’s call to bring Him glory in every area of our lives.

 Students have been coming to our home to practice English and participate in an English Bible study. Recently, Erika helped organize and direct an English Immersion Night, focusing on our team’s experiences in North Africa, where believers often face persecution. Todd led worship alongside local pastor and accordionist Gil, and many shared powerful testimonies. Together, we prayed that God would continue to call more people to obey and go where He leads.
