A Plea From The Field
In my mailbox this afternoon was a letter from the director of the Fortaleza Academy, asking for help. Here is the letter:
Fortaleza Academy exists to assist missionaries in the education of their children in 1st to 12 th grades. For over 50 years, FA has provided quality education from a Christian perspective.For the past several years, FA has struggled to provide the personnel needed to meet the educational needs. Though we have a lovely facility, ample income and a student body of 39, we have had to cut out courses this year for lack of teachers.
We anticipate an even greater lack for the 2005-2006 school year. Perhaps you would consider meeting this need for teachers, temporarily or permanently.
All BMM children attend FA tuition free. The city of Fortaleza has a population of about 2 million and offers plenty of areas for additional ministries.
You may be between assignments or considering a change. Would you consider teaching at Fortaleza Academy? Do you know of someone (an MK or retiree) qualified that might be interested?
For an application or more information, please contact FA at: bmmfa@secrel.com.br
Sincerely,
Bruce T. Dennis, Director
Fortaleza Academy
a ministry of Baptist Mid-Missions
in Brazil
I can attest to the good work done by Fortaleza Academy. I can also attest to the genuine need for personnel the school faces at the moment. So, Comings Communiqué readers, are there any of you who will rise to the challenge, or know someone who might?

Agreed. Of course, we probably do not agree as to where the most beautiful beach in the world is (the city of Natal, RN, Brazil)

No can do, I'm afraid - but in case any of your other readers are tempted, we should add that Fortaleza is a beautiful city with the second best beaches in the world. Much recommended!
