We wanted to take a minute to honor and thank David and Nikol Morrison for their 8.5 years of service with us here at Ardeo Global. From serving on the field to sending others, your countless hours of hard work, prayers, and dedication has never gone unnoticed, whether front and center or behind the scenes. We know that the Lord has used you to impact so many lives and that He will continue to use you as you faithfully serve Him in your next endeavor. We send you with our blessing and our love!

Today marks the first day of Ramadan, a month-long holiday in the Muslim world, comemorating the period in which the prophet Mohammed began to write the Quran.  Starting today, millions of Muslims around the world will devote themselves to praying to Allah and fasting between dawn and sunset. 

As Ramadan starts, it would be a great time for us as Christians to love on and remember our Muslim neighbors in our prayers.  Pray for the Holy Spirt to open their minds and hearts.  Pray that they will recognize Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to salvation.  Pray that they would recognize the Bible as God's unadulterated, holy Word.  Pray that the Lord would speak to them in dreams and visions and that the Lord would send out workers into the harvest field.  The harvest is ready, but the workers are few.

Yesterday we celebrated not only the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, but also the successful completion of our first term of missions classes and our very first student Taylan, who returned to the States yesterday.  The Ardeo Brasil family grew bigger these past three months.  The Holy Spirit worked in so many ways in her life and calling, and we know that the Lord has big plans in store for her.  We send her out with our blessing and our love.  May she be a living instrument in the expansion of the Kingdom wherever the Lord leads her.  We love you, Tay!  ❤

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  We want to take a minute to introduce you to our newest team member and very first CrossFit coach mobilizer here at Ardeo Global!  Andy Stanton is joining us from Oak Harbor, Washington where he lives with his beautiful wife Katie and newborn daughter.  Andy will be working stateside to spread the word about CrossFit Nações to recruit Christian athletes who are ready to use their passion to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ!  In 2019, the Lord did a remarkable work in Andy's life after years of doing life his own way.  Jesus met him in a radical encounter and now his goal is to help send out others so that many more people can encounter Jesus just as he did.  Welcome, Andy!!!

Missionary Sarah shared this testimony today.

"We’ve been experiencing the blessings of God lately here in Brazil. A few weeks ago Olivia and I decided that we felt like it would be good to begin waking up at 5 AM on Tuesday mornings to pray together over our mission here in Rio: the school, church, team, etc. Each time we have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and sense that God is pleased with our time with Him. 5 AM is not an easy time for me. I have to fight to climb out of bed, and I almost have to pray to even just stay awake, but Olivia and I have felt this need to be intentional about taking the many needs around us to the Lord and it has been crazy how He has responded quickly.

The first week we prayed about many things but one of the things we had most been concerned about was getting together a few documents for our visas. Within an hour or two we both received messages that the specific documents we were worried about were ready for us.

Another need had been the electricity at the school. It’s been about a month of issues that have prevented students from having WiFi and for work to be done at the office. This morning we spent a specific moment during our prayer time praying that God would perform a miracle and restore the electricity. TODAY....this afternoon right before we were supposed to have a class taught to us on Zoom, ALL ELECTRICITY WAS RESTORED!! God is a God of miracles still today and even the smallest details are important to him.
Talk to God today, He cares for you.
'Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, He will give it to you.' John 16:23"

As our team in Rio is wrapping up the first round of missions classes, the church plant is getting underway.  But it's not any ordinary church plant.  They are implementing a strategy that is different from any other church we have ever planted in Ardeo's 14-year history.  The church will not have a set building, worship team, address, or even time.  Instead, the church will be composed of various house churches similar to how ministry looked in the book of Acts.  The team is being mentored by Pastor Brent Hofen who pastors a church like this in the States that has absolutely exploded.  People are getting saved, baptized, making disciples--exactly what we want to do!  We want to make disciples who make disciples, and in order to do this, we have to keep it simple and reproducible.  Another reason why we are moving in this direction is because we are training missionaries to go serve in places that are closed off to the gospel, where opening a church is not only illegal, but could land you in jail.  In these countries, the church operates out of homes and small gatherings of friends and families.  We want to equip our missionaries for life on the field.  Here is a picture from one of our very first gatherings.  Pray for us as we get started!

"Go and make disciples of all nations..."  These were among Jesus' last words to His disciples before He ascended into heaven.  And this is exactly what we're doing at Ardeo Global.  For the past 14 years, we've sent out over 370 missionaries from 12 different countries to plant over 90 churches. 

We are deeply burdened by the number of people who have STILL never heard about Jesus.  Did you know there are over 3.1 billion people who don't have access to the gospel?  We want to change this!  That's why we are starting up schools for training missionaries to reach the unreached, using tools such as CrossFit and teaching English.  We want to help people use the gifts and passions the Lord has given them and turn it into a tool for His glory.  Together we can change hearts and change the world!
