News from the Field – October 2024

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9
 
“Perseverance is not the result of our determination, it is the result of God’s faithfulness.”
Eugene Peterson

Celebrating 10 Years of God’s faithfulness

in Cândido Mota – Brazil

In August of 2024, Open Arms Agent of Hope, Mariane “Mari” Rodrigues, her team of volunteers, supporters, and the children they serve, celebrated ten years of God’s faithfulness in the small town of Cândido Mota in São Paulo state, Brazil. With presentations, games, arts, food, and music, they remembered together the many ways God has multiplied the humble gifts of time, talent, and treasure given by so many to impact hundreds of children in this one corner of the world. Lives have been changed for eternity. This is the power of hope.

God’s word exhorts us to not grow weary in doing good, but that in due time we will get to enjoy the harvest. Take some time today to enjoy this harvest and give thanks for the One who brought it all to pass.

Mari has been faithful in the task that God has called her to, and she is now preparing to hand this ministry over to the next generation of leaders in order to start again in another city. That is the life of a sower of seed with Open Arms Worldwide. You can learn more about Mari’s story HERE and we encourage you to do so.

OAW is able to mobilize, train, send, and support Agents of Hope like Mari because we have an amazing family of supporters from all over the world who believe in this mission and are willing to invest. If you haven’t already, join our movement today by becoming a monthly partner in changing lives – GIVE
