Switching Missions… Yep, we have switched missions. We are still with Victoria Ministries serving as Executive Director, yet now have a different sending mission agency. We were with Pioneers Brazil and have now switched and joined United World Mission (UWM).
Long story made short… All this started in August last year when the head of finances at Pioneers Mission Brazil contacted me and said that we were going to face new tax law problems in 2016. According to their accountant an extra 27% would have to be removed from the total of our support. Because of this the board of Pioneers Mission Brazil suggested I become member of a Mission in the USA, this way becoming exempt from this new tax law.
So after praying about this, United World Mission (UWM) was our choice for three reasons: - My parents and brother are serving through United World Mission (UWM).
- Victoria Ministries has a firm partnership with United World Mission(UWM).
- United World Mission (UWM) has more than 350 missionaries serving in 45 nations.
Last week Telma and I took part in the orientation meetings in Charlotte, NC, at the headquarters of United World Mission. We were accepted to serve as missionaries through UWM at Victoria Ministries.
With that being said, there are some changes in the way support is sent in to us. No more support for us can be sent to Pioneers Mission, but instead to United World Mission with our names and account number attached (Marcos and Telma Pereira #31516). We have attached a form that explains how you can continue to send in your personal monthly support.
We also have to raise our monthly support level by $300.00 to be fully funded.
Would you consider joining our monthly support team?
If you have any questions whatsoever about this switch,
please be sure to contact us with them.
