“Evangelism & Supporting Churches in the Negro River in the Amazon Jungle”
 That’s the long title given by NAZARENE TEAMS to E TN W&W team to serve in Brazil 

PRAISES AND REQUESTS SHARED WITH YOU:


PRAISES:
First, we must praise God for a district who carry a burden for Work & Witness, & 
pray for teams, from beginning inspiration to the return.  
Then, I know you’ll join me in praising God for the work He has gifted & inspired  
Rachel Reed to do!  She, and Laura Dockery, working/ praying together, have 
proven that they can be some of the most effective Work & Witness coordinators 
in the Church of the Nazarene.  Don Moore, who is an amazing W&W coordinator, 
agrees wholeheartedly with that assessment.  Let’s all continue to pray for Rachel 
and Laura, as they both have sacrificed hours of their time for this project, even as 
they are both dealing with the stresses of daily life.
 
REQUESTS: as we move from funding (DONE, THANKS BE TO GOD!) to preparing: 
Jesus Film ARC  (to be delivered to us August 24):  pray that we can get it packed 

efficiently so that it will travel to Brazil, ready for their team to set up for showing in
 the Amazon interior.  Please pray for efficient packing and minimal baggage fees.

  • Pray for 
    Safe (long) trip to Manaus, Brazil…
    all the way from departure (10/14) to safe return (10/25) 
    Team members: Rachel Reed, Laura Dockery, Kristie Greene, Ron DeWitt, 
    Mindi DeWitt, Scott & Debbie Blair, Loren & Alice Carey,  
    Bill & Martha Dawson, Jim & Teresa Hodge.

    For effective, God-honoring ministry to those in Brazil, and to each other on the team
    For health of team members to fulfill tasks (painting parsonage, delivering
    goods /
    ministering to indigenous people up & down the Amazon River.
    For spiritual/emotional connection of team, hosts & people receiving us as we
    minister
    For spiritual and emotional health of team and hosts.

     
    THANK YOU, EAST TENNESSEE, FOR PRAYING!
