GLOBAL PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD
Dan and Carol Cook – Brazil
God’s mercies are renewed every morning! Following two of our most challenging years, God has given us a bit of respite while on a six-month furlough in the U.S. Dan’s involvement as the interim pastor at Koinonia Baptist church concluded at the end of April and that congregation has now called a Brazilian pastor. It was difficult to maintain three different ministries between Koinonia, the directorship of Camp Paradise, and our new church plant at Redemption Baptist. Most of our focus and energy had to go towards restoring the mission and values of Koinonia after the stormy sea of moral and ethical turbulence that was tossing the church back and forth. We are grateful to God in His infinite wisdom and grace for bringing order back to this dear congregation.
Please pray for Camp Paradise during this summer season as we are totally absent from all activities. We haven’t missed a full camp season in many years, but are confident that God is using our Brazilian staff to their fullest capabilities. Pray for David Ferreira who is our interim director. Other staff leaders are Marcelo, Marquinhos, Ely, Mike, Belle, Manuela, and Ariel. They are leading a staff of fifty volunteers. Our campers are arriving over the next two weeks ready to go! Since “Camp is for the camper”, our age-graded program focuses on three types of campers: the artist, the athlete, and the academic.
Our new church plant on the north side of Greater Recife continues to grow. We have an average attendance of 120 people after the two-year mark. We serve on a team with Marcelo and Monique Santiago. Pray as new visitors arrive with needs every Sunday.
