ACTION:Generations |
|
MBMS International’s first formal ACTION:Generations team spent four weeks in Sao Paulo, Brazil serving alongside MBMSI missionaries Jim and Marilou Nightingale. Generations, which is similar to MBMSI’s summer ACTION program, emerged from the desire to target an older age demographic and fulfill a need for seasonal workers to experience missions in the winter months. Comprised of Ed and Kathy Peters from Manitoba and Ken Penner from Kansas, the team arrived in Brazil on January 14 and spent four days training before heading into three weeks of ministry. ACTION:Generations ran until February 11 after four days of debrief.
