Stanley Doolittle

Serving in Brazil, South America

Growing up in a missionary family, it was easy for Stanley to see himself as good enough for heaven. While listening to a lesson about Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, he realized that his parents’ faith was not enough and that he had to personally accept Christ as his Savior. In 2007, Stanley knelt before his window and prayed that the Lord would save him. He was baptized at Maranatha Baptist Church in Taruma, Varzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil. As Stanley entered his teen years, he portrayed himself as a good Christian kid but knew he was not walking with the Lord. It took a message at camp when he was 16 to break down his rebellious spirit and commit to living for the Lord and doing His will. A few years later, Stanley felt the Lord’s calling to full-time Christian service. He had already made plans for the future and being a missionary was not one of them. However, the Lord made His will clear and Stanley accepted His call. Since then, his prayer has been, “I may not be able to go everywhere, but Lord, I will go anywhere.” By God’s grace, He has directed Stanley to return to his homeland of Brazil to take the Word to those who have not yet heard.
