Ann and Bruce serve as missionaries in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in partnership with JAMI, the international mission agency of the National Baptist Convention of Brazil. They equip Brazilian missionaries to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in countries around the world, including unreached people groups in Brazil. Based at JAMI's missionary training center in Belo Horizonte, they serve as teachers and pastoral counselors training new missionaries in the areas of cross-cultural ministry skills, Christian community and economic development, and English language for mission.

Please join us in prayer for:

• The young adults in training at JAMI this year from Brazil, Peru, Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea Bissau.
• Three families (former students) who are now serving in Senegal, Guinea Bissau and Japan.
• That churches in cities increasingly filled with alienated, angry youth would respond in creative ways to offer life and hope. Right now, Brazil is reeling from the news of a mass killing at an elementary school in Rio de Janeiro. How will we respond?
• Our family as we prepare to leave our home here in Brazil for a one year US/Puerto Rico/Special Assignment based in the Bremerton, WA area beginning on June 1st.

Pray for Ann and Bruce as they reach out for Jesus in Brazil and as they help train and mentor a new generation of Brazilian cross-cultural missionaries.
