Our
Work in Brazil . . .
Nearly
a quarter century ago the
Washington
Avenue congregation entered into a partnership
with Eddison and LaJuana Fowler to help them realize their dream to telling the
story of Jesus in
Brazil
...specifically
in city of
Belo Horizonte. The years have gone by and the relationship
has blossomed. Our support has matured
from simply an economic presence in their work to now (among other things) include encouragement through member visits to
Brazil.
Today we are as optimistic about the work
being done in the Master's cause in
Brazil
as was the case all those
years ago when we first met the Fowler family.
Eddison
works with the Central Congregation in
Belo
Horizonte and serves as one of the ministers and an
elder. His work puts great focus on
evangelist efforts and he has been influential in the planting of congregations
throughout the region. The Central congregation has started 11 new
congregations during the time Eddison has been in
Brazil.
He is the director of the
National
Bible
School and in that capacity leads the
effort to train men and women for service to the Master throughout
Brazil
. The
school provides on-site classes in
Belo
Horizonte and "distance learning" through
electronic technology. Both he an LaJuana are active
workers in the recently built Christian Children's Home located in
Belo Horizonte. Eddison
is sensitive to people, a good listener and a ready source of counsel and
encouragement to Christians in the
Belo
Horizonte area. He and LaJuana are making a positive difference in the lives of people
around them.
Washington
Avenue is but one of many congregations throughout the
USA
supporting the work of Eddison and LaJuana. The
Fowler family returns to the States periodically to report on their efforts and
it is always a blessing to have them visit with us. The Jackson Park Church of Christ in
Nashville,
TN
sponsors their work and provides the administrative support required by the mission
work.
