BRAZIL – REVISITED

We arrived in Manaus after over twenty hours travelling and were greeted by Ronald Jonker and Joel Ketcham, missionaries at the missionary school, on the banks of the Amazon. We travelled for another hour in the car and then after a short boat ride down river we arrived at the school we were to be working at for the next three weeks.

The team’s job was to empty the school, remove the old roof, cement in supporting posts to hold the new roof and then raise the heavy trusses onto the building. We made good progress on the roof despite the hot sun and humidity and we are thankful to God for his protection over us throughout the trip!

We were able to swim in the river after work, enjoy the fellowship of devotions in the mornings, and be thankful for God’s beautiful creation that we were surrounded by.

I LEFT BRAZIL ENCOURAGED, CHALLENGED AND GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP WITH THE LORD’S WORK OVERSEAS.

After this Summit trip and in response to seeing the need, I have come back to Brazil to help with maintenance and teaching at the school for five months. When I return home I plan to study Aerospace Engineering

Gift Aid Declaration

Gift Aid

To qualify for Gift Aid, you must be a UK taxpayer and pay more Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for the tax year in which Gift Aid donations are made. If you have not been charged sufficient tax to cover to the Income Tax deducted from your Gift Aid donations, then you are responsible to pay any difference. Please note:

NTM cannot make a claim on a gift where the tax has already been claimed by another charity (eg. CAF or Stewardship).
Donations towards the living expenses of NTM missionaries who are close relatives are not eligible for Gift Aid. Therefore Gift Aided donations to close relatives must be designated for ministry expenses. Close relatives include the following family and their spouses/civil partners: grandparents, parents, children, siblings, and grandchildren.
For donations from couples, it is most practical for our processes if only one person who pays tax completes the form; gifts from that individual will then be treated as Gift Aided.
We do not claim Gift Aid on donations for student fees.
It is the donor’s responsibility to advise NTM if they no longer qualify for Gift Aid.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have questions.
