MISSIONARY OF THE WEEK
Bill & Sharon SMITH, Boa Vista, Roraima, BRAZIL
In 1972 the Smiths arrived as missionaries in Brazil. During their ministry in northern Brazil they have had the privilege to start five churches all now having national pastors except the one where they are presently working. The Smiths have also been involved in the training of national workers by teaching in a Bible Institute in Manaus, Amazonas, 500 miles south of Boa Vista. ~ Because of the Covid lockdown the church is having services by cell phone and using What’s App. More stores are opening, and they are hoping churches will be allowed to open at least the first part of July. The church in Caracarai is having the last part of the Institute classes and 3 from the church will graduate. ~ Physically both Bill & Sharon are still recuperating from their colds, taking medicine & vitamins, and getting lots of rest. They ask that we keep them in our prayers. ~ In an email received on Thursday they mentioned that they were going to make a trip to the States in August for their 50th wedding anniversary but American Airlines canceled their flight from Manaus to Miami so they will not be able to take the trip. “We will have to sit in our recliners and look at each other to celebrate. That will be alright! We do enjoy each other’s company.”
