Dearest Partners
We are humbled by your generosity. It continues to be a privilege to have (as partners in this ministry), those of you who share our goals to reach lost souls, bring people to experience God’s love and to transform lives for eternity.
In Matthew Chapter 24 verses 10 through 12, Jesus said that in the last days the love of many would grow cold. You have proven by your actions that your love remains very warm. We all know that love is the only way that we can change our world. As we grow in love, the work of Healing Every Nation is growing as well and with this growth comes added responsibilities. We are praying and looking not only for financial help but for volunteers as well.
I would like to take this opportunity to share a typical day for Vilma and I. I share this not to sound in the least complaining, but to help you understand our reasons for needing prayer and volunteers.
Our day begins by opening our emails. Typically there are so many that need response, and as always, our heart is never to make any sender feel ignored. However due to the numbers, we find that we are not as quick to respond as we would like. To this we add: the time our monthly newsletters take to write, the time to maintain our website, making and responding many phone calls, establishing and adjusting budgets for different projects, building and caring for relationships, attending interviews and services, traveling to the mission field, doing presentations about our work, keeping our accounts current and organizing conferences. In addition to these tasks, we sometimes find that what appear to be very insignificant things becoming large consumers of our time. Beyond all this, we make every effort to handle the challenges we face with prayer, good humor and careful attention to every changing situations.
Please know that as we are praying for much needed volunteers, we are also praying for finances to enable us to pay for the needed office staff. We hope these volunteers will be a good solution and will relieve our hectic schedules to the degree that each task is accomplished in an efficient and timely manner. Healing Every Nation is not, as of yet, able to even pay a salary of any kind for Vilma nor for me. Even more sadly, there are still so very many children who still do not have a sponsor. I continue to be in need of God’s healing and grace for my health.
Although all of this sounds so very daunting, we serve a mighty God, Who knows our situation and is able to work all things together for good. In the meantime, until we have these volunteers, we continue to ask for your prayers and patience with us.
Each of you is very important to this ministry and very special to Vilma and me as we work every day to share the love and passion God has placed in our hearts. We ask that you make these requests and needs a matter of prayer. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
God’s blessings to you all.
Eddie and Vilma Brito
