Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Prayer Guide – Day 2

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Prayer Guide – Day 2

Join us in the month April for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) is the primary way we support mission efforts in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO are used to support Southern Baptist missionaries serving across the United States and Canada.

To give to this offering:

You may send a check in the mail – please designate “AAEO” in the memo portion of a check made payable to Grand Avenue Baptist Church.

You may give electronically at gabcames.org/giving choosing the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Fund.

The offering goal at GABC is $1,250.00.

Over the course of the month we’ll be posting prayer requests from the 2020 Prayer Guide for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering titled “It’s All About the Gospel”.

The following is the North American missionary spotlight and prayer requests and video for Day 2.

Day 2
J.D. & Andreina Fasolino, Toronto, Ontario

Creating Unity in Diversity
Toronto is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. And although there’s a large Hispanic population, there are few Hispanic churches. J.D. and Andreina moved from Venezuela to plant one.

The Fasolinos started with a small group Bible Study. Now Emmanuel Baptist church East involves more than 70 people worshipping together, representing Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba and Guatemala. They also have a ministry serving migrant workers on a local mushroom farm.

While diversity has its beauty, it also brings challenges.

“Because of diversity, some people tend to isolate and become lonely. There is a continuous sense of mourning-the same you have when you lose a loved one-but in this case because you lost your language, your traditions, your friends, family and even your food.” Says J.D.

PRAY
For boldness to proclaim Christ in a city with opposition.
For Emmanuel Baptist Church to create community and family for those who are lonely and isolated.
