Soccer Outreach in Ecuador
RMM missionaries Dan and Lynelle Delagrange recently worked
with the Comunidad de Fe congregation in Duran, Ecuador,
to host a soccer camp for local youth. The church created the
soccer field on their property using funds that were raised by
children at CMC’s annual conference in 2004. Following the camp
Dan sent the following report.
“The week of Soccer and Bible
class for 36 boys from unchurched families went well in spite of
lots of rain. They were taught the life of Joseph and compared
his life with the life of Jesus. They also learned important
sportsmanship attitudes and soccer skills. Each one was given a
Bible and a soccer ball. Three youth girls from Floradale
(Ontario) Mennonite Church were the underwriters of this event
and were here for the week to help out with the training.
“Most of the 36 boys are now in various neighborhood Bible clubs
and several have begun to attend Sunday School. We continue to
follow-up with visits to their homes and pray for the families
to experience new life in Jesus.”

RMM’s Prayer
Requests for 2006 – Part 3
Following is the
third of four Mosaic features presenting RMM’s
prayer requests for 2006. A complete list of the
requests can be found on our website.
RMM is laying some new foundations in 2006. Lord
willing, we will send one couple and three single
interns to Thailand, one couple to Morocco and
several couples to Spain. On the home front, Joe
Showalter is giving leadership to a multicultural
church plant/missionary training center in Columbus.
Pray that we would be deliberate and intentional
about laying a solid foundation of prayer and
preparation in all of these efforts.

New Missionaries
Prepare for Service
Missionary Support Teams and “simple church” were
the topics of discussion at an orientation for
fourteen potential RMM missionaries and interns who
gathered at the SEND Training Center in Columbus,
Ohio, from March 24-26. Those who participated have
been appointed or are applying to work in Russia,
Spain, Morocco, and Thailand. A follow-up training
is scheduled for July. RMM’s human resource
director, Mim Musser, commented that this unusually
large group of applicants can be seen as an answer
to RMM’s increased prayer for new workers. |
