Ann and Bruce serve as missionaries in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in partnership with JAMI, the international mission agency of the National Baptist Convention of Brazil. They equip Brazilian missionaries to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in countries around the world, including unreached people groups in Brazil. The Borquists are presently on U.S/Puerto Rico assignment and will return to Brazil in May.  They share the following:

Praises:

• For warm welcome by so many churches as we do deputation here in the U.S.  Many have said that they are really encouraged by our message and inspired to get more involved in God’s mission locally, nationally and internationally.
• For time with Bruce’s dad (80), Ann’s dad (86) and other relatives in the Pacific Northwest.
  

Prayer requests:

• For the families and church families of four pastors in Brazil who died in a terrible car accident this last weekend as they were coming home from a statewide gathering of church leaders.  Their car hydroplaned and smashed head on into another car, killing the occupants of both cars (including a family with 2 children).
• For God’s inspiration and direction as we continue to share the story of God’s mission in Brazil and around the world
• For wisdom as we prepare to teach intensive courses in Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam in March.
• For grace as we say farewell to our family, especially to Asa, and prepare to return to Brazil in May.
