Danielle Manaois, The Love of the Saints

" By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes." Psalm 133:1-2

     It's a beautiful thing when you see these verses fulfilled through the people of God!  The third Sunday of July, the Lord sent me to Grace Truth Church to present the ministry in Papua, Indonesia.  Although I was nervous speaking to the church, it was a blessing to share this ministry and see people get excited about it!  After the presentation, I had a small table set up with a slideshow of Papua displayed on my laptop, some letters, and memorabilia from Papua.  People chatted with me while they looked at the table.  It was a blessing to talk with the saints about Papua!

     One of my first emotions I had when I thought about partnership development was fear.  I was afraid to speak in front of numerous amounts of people.  However, as the Lord sends me to various churches, I have been greatly encouraged!  It's very cool to meet other believers who love the Lord and are zealous for His kingdom work in the the world!  Although I meet strangers on these trips, due to Christ, I am able to have sweet fellowship with these "strangers," who are actually my brothers and sisters in Christ.  We are unified in Christ and, thus, are able to dwell in unity.  Praise God for this precious gift!

     I look forward to visiting more churches and fellowshipping with God's people!

John and Joyce, Summer Mission Trip


John and Joyce Parker

We are husband and wife, parents to 4 children, the older of which, Abigail, we brought with us. We wanted to come to assist in spreading the gospel to the Hispanic culture and to serve our Lord and His people in a different setting. We brought our oldest daughter so she could experience what it looks like to devote a whole week to serving others in the name of Christ and set ourselves aside and put others first.

We were called to serve in the Rio Grande Valley area in Texas

Some personal goals we met were: teaching our daughter about service in Christ, selflessness, and how blessed we are; working for the good of the team and for God’s kingdom; Abby said she wanted to learn that God was the most important person.

Some result that we saw were: a successful and smoothly run VBS at Iglesia Bautista Cristo el Rey, where about 80 children came to hear the gospel and many of them learned all 5 memory verses; relationships built between our team and the congregations we visited at Cristo el Rey and Iglesia Espiritu Santo (in Matamoros, Mexico); discipleship and evangelism relationships strengthened with the youth and with one of the families in the community; relationships grown and strengthened among member of our team, invitations for Psalm 67 to return and work with more congregations in Mexico.

Pray that the youth and the Solis family we visited from the community will be saved and that the church there will really reach out to them and they will get plugged in at the church.

Pray that God show His plan for our family; what He would have us do and where He would have us to go. We were so blessed by the fellowship this week, something we don’t really have where we are, so we ask that God would grant us deep relationships with other believers


In His Name,

Danielle Manaois Long term Missionary

 My name is Danielle Manaois and I am a member of Rockport Baptist Church in Arnold, MO.  God has richly blessed me through the preaching, teaching, and sweet fellowship while at this church.  In Acts 13, the Holy Spirit sends out Barnabas and Saul for missionary work.  Likewise, God is calling me out from Rockport Baptist Church to serve as a missionary in Papua, Indonesia.  Although I leave my wonderful church family, I look forward to serving the Lord in Papua.
     Currently, I am presenting the Lord's ministry in Papua to various churches.  I presented for the first time to a church in Georgia this past May.   God graciously blessed that trip and gave me such joy to speak about the work and need in Papua.  I saw God abundantly answer many prayers during that trip!  Glory to God!

     God has opened up another opportunity to share the ministry this coming Sunday, July 21st to another church in Georgia!  I just found out today and am so grateful to the Lord for this opportunity!  Praise the Lord!

     A few prayer needs:
  1. Please ask the Lord to help me present clearly and confidently in Him.
  2. Please pray that I will be a blessing to the local body.
I also have a blog with many pictures of my time spent in Indonesia: http://daniellemanaois.blogspot.com/

For His glory,

Danielle Manaois
