Jeff Turnbough Meetings in Brazil

January 21st, 2010

Belo Horizonte, Brazil
January 12-15, 2010

Deputy Director Jeff Turnbough and Latin America Regional Director Stan Bunch met with FWBIM missionaries in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for fours days of workshops and for their annual field council meeting. FWBIM is at a strategic point in its history as well as the work in Brazil. Directors addressed the changes taking place in the mission as a result of the changes in the funding system as well as other new initiatives. Workers thought about the next ten years and are looking to the Lord to continue to work through them as well as the National Church in Brazil. The group honored Jim and Vicki Sturgill for their nearly 40 years of service with the mission. The directors also met with individual workers and visited some of the works, meeting also with local leaders. Please continue to pray for FWBIM missionaries in Brazil and for the National Church as we continue to ask the Lord to unite us all as we work together for the extension of His Kingdom in Brazil and around the world.
