Missionaries Supported by our Church |
|
Steve and Hope Shearouse are missionaries serving in Honduras and Mexico. Of interest is that Hope Shearous is a relative of one of our former ministers, Rev. Rickie Varnell. Hope asked our Mission Committee to help with their support and we have been sending $1,500 each year toward that support.
Their first assignment was to work with children in Tapachula, Mexico. They found many children living with their parents in the jail! These parents were serving from one year to life for various crimes. Children were being beaten and sexually abused by the inmates.
With the help of many church groups, a home was established for the boys and one for the girls. Parents gave permission to move their children to the homes and today there are two homes for boys and two for girls. All 37 children from the jail are now in these homes. Parents are seeing changes in the lives of their children and, as a result, are themselves being changed and are accepting Christ.
Steve and Hope work through Mission on the Move (MOM) which has the main office in Guyton, GA. In addition to international service, MOM has responded to natural disasters in the United States. Mission on the Move is non-denominational with board members from several states.
Maria Tereza and Gordon Greathouse serve in the Fourth Region of the Methodist Church in Brazil. They founded and continue to develop and direct Sao Gabriel Community Center in one of the largest, poorest neighborhoods outside of Brazil's third largest city. Their program helps people from the slum areas gain skills to become more economically independent. Today, the Sao Gabriel Community Center operates a wide variety of programs that have gained widespread interest.
