Dear Mt. Level Covenant Partner,
It was with great joy that we shared with you this past Sunday the ministry to which God has called us in Brazil. Our joy was made further complete when you joined us at the altar to covenant with us in this ministry. We are grateful to God who works through you and through Mt Level Baptist Church to make this new ministry possible.
As we said on Sunday, our work in Brazil will have two main components:
1)
We will serve as teachers at the South American Theological Seminary (SATS) and there we will also organize an exchange of faculty, staff, and students between SATS and Duke Divinity School;
2)
We will serve local churches as we organize ministry exchanges between churches in the Londrina area and churches here in NC, especially Mt. Level. Our dream is that soon some of you can come to Brazil to visit us, to participate in short-tem mission projects, and that you can host Brazilian Christians who come to Durham.
Enclosed in this letter are brief facts about Brazil and SATS that might be of further interest to you and that should help in understanding better the setting of this new ministry of Mt. Level Church in Brazil.
On Sunday, Rev. Turner explained briefly about the significance of having covenant partners from Mt. Level who would support and encourage us with their financial contributions, with prayers and hopefully with visits to Brazil. As our partners in this, we ask you to pray and to ask the Lord to guide you as you examine how much you can contribute to this ministry and participate with us in the great work God is doing in Brazil. The bottom portion of this letter includes a covenant partner pledge- card which you can return directly to Mt. Level.
As our covenant partners, we promise to write to you regularly, reporting about how the work in Brazil is going, noting particular prayer requests, etc. We will keep you in our prayers as we know we are in yours.
Thank you for joining us in this great work.
Blessings, grace and peace,
Sam and Rosalee Ewell
