I just returned from the Country of Belize, where I helped organize a special retreat for apostolic Central America missionaries and their families.
I have done many exciting things across my 48 years as a missionary to Brazil, but last week’s retreat was undoubtedly an exceptional highlight for Nara and me.
Our three days together were intense: we all prayed, learned, and enjoyed “downtime” together!
As the “oldest” active missionary present, I was able to “empty out” by sharing what I have learned while working the foreign harvest fields after almost 50 years of labor. Missionary Tommy Bracken was also very transparent with the group about his missionary experience.
Concerning the challenges that Central American missionaries are facing, I picked up on several crucial insights:
Now for my personal experience/insights:
USA partners and supporters have ALWAYS been VERY GENEROUS when investing in special projects (new buildings, etc.). Thank you! So, at this time, that is not the problem. However, it is essential to know that your MONTHLY missionary support is just as important! Maybe even more needed, depending on the challenges they face in their labor field! So PLEASE continue helping them regularly EVERY month! Thank you!
For self-explanatory reasons, I have a tremendous love for missionaries worldwide. And I place myself at your service to answer any questions you might have concerning the many challenges that missionaries face worldwide. Please feel free to write or call me (jblambeth@gmail.com / 1-352-895-0046).
My love for missions is why I started the subscription Dying Empty Newsletter project. I write articles directed to the apostolic ministry concerning current challenges and other apostolic insights twice a week.
