Exciting News!

We are excited to announce that Matheus da Silva, who served with us regularly in 2016/2017, will be joining our team here in Ixtapaluca!

Matheus is a Brazilian who lives in Portugal. He came to school at Word of Life Mexico, and part of his education included his weekend trips with several other interns to serve in Las Palmas.

Matheus will be crossing the ocean again to join us on a full time basis – basically as an intern for a year.

We very much appreciated Matheus when he was here last. He and the other interns who came played a key role in the beginning of the new church in Las Palmas. He has been serving in Portugal since then, in his local church and also in Word of Life Portugal.

Lord willing, Matheus will be coming through Camino Global and FAMEX (a Mexican mission agency associated with Camino), and we hope to see him in Ixtapaluca before the end of the summer. Rod has been working hard at navigating that paperwork and general bureaucracy involved in getting Matheus from here to there.

Please pray for Matheus, that God would prepare his heart for the ministry ahead. Also pray that the funds he needs would come in quickly, and that God would raise up more people to commit to pray for him during his time here.

If you’re interested in supporting Matheus through prayer or financially, please contact us.

There’s an interesting family connection between the Frys and Matheus – you can read about that, plus see some more pictures and videos, right here. (By the way, yes, this post has the same title as Rod’s. I wanted to go with something else – but frankly, this is just plain exciting news!)
