Portuguese Coordinator
As of October 2009, they are at 76% support
March 8, 1990 the Lord brought me to a place where I had to receive Him as my Savior and Lord of my life. Three months earlier my wife Kimberly was also saved. We were married in 1992, through the years the Lord has done wondrous things. My wife and I had been serving at Colonial Baptist Church for almost sixteen years in any capacity we could.
God’s plan for our family came early in 2005 during our missions conference. Paul Pritchard, Jr., the founder of PREACH Evangelistic Ministries, spoke at the conference. Later in 2005 we had the opportunity to visit with the ministry team. Brother Pritchard communicated the vision for reaching the nine Portuguese–Speaking nations of the world. PREACH Evangelistic Ministries is a Bible-based work with a missionary team that goes to these nine countries. The focus of our team is to evangelize, train nationals, prepare them to be pastors and church planters while also providing gospel literature in Portuguese. The Lord began to move in my heart. After much prayer with my family the Lord gave me the open door through His Word in Isa. 45:1-3. With the Holy Spirit and the scripture we submitted to His authority and joined Preach Evangelistic Ministries.
While on deputation my wife and I have gone over seas and worked along side the team on several occasions. I have had the privilege to preach, in Mozambique and Cape Verde. We were able to help the Team in a evangelistic campaign in Cape Verde reaching thousands of public school students with the gospel. I was able to help survey parts of Guinea Bissau for future evangelistic work. In each country we saw many come to Christ, nationals trained and helped churches be established. As we worked to evangelize the sinner, and exhort the saint, they in turn have touched our hearts. We long to be on the field full time!
We praise the Lord for His leading and calling as we have taken these steps of faith and become a part of the PREACH team. We are seeking to bring the gospel to four continents and nine countries with over 240,000,000 people who speak Portuguese as their native language. My family and I have been appointed team coordinators for Angola, Africa, though our service will include working with the team in all nine countries.
