We are going to the Azores, Portugal
WHEN: November 25 to December 4 TBC
COST: Approximately $2,400 to $3,300 per person (each member must raise minimum 10% of their own costs)
LOCATION: Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal
PURPOSE:
Fulfilling the command to engage in mission (pray, send, go) and embody the church’s core values. Jorge’s vision of multiplying the church, healing spiritual blindness, pursuing revival, and serving others is directly in-line with Bethel’s core values. This will help deepen the relationship that Bethel has with Jorge and hopefully plant seeds which God can use to bless the Azores Church in the long run.
TRIP DISCRIPTION:
Assist in three primary ways as follows:
(1) community engagement and outreach
(2) church ministries, and
(3) church building renovations (e.g., painting).
Our Hosts: Jorge & Jacinta Melo
The focus of the Melo’s ministry is in Church Planting and Revitalization. Located in the picturesque Azores Islands (Portugal), the church to which Jorge & Jacinta were called to pastor was established in 1893. Nearly ready to close its doors with an average attendance of 4, God has blessed this church and increased this number to over 30 and the vision is for much, much more. The Melos would like to see a church planted on every one of the 9 islands that range in population from 300 people to 176,000. This ministry is not only bringing revitalization to one church. It is reaching an entire people group.
