Espírito Santo, BRAZIL—From January 8-28, 2017 the Canvassing Department in Espírito Santo held a Summer Canvassing Program. Twenty-seven individuals participated in the 20-day long program. Participants spent time distributing literature and selling and delivering books door-to-door. There was also time for recreation and participating in the local church programs during the weekend.
We left the times of slavery and long hours of the Industrial Revolution only to return to them by our own free will. Demanding routines, challenging projects, lofty goals, are part of today's daily life. When possible, we work incessantly. Time does not allow for pauses. This is what many of us think and how many of us act. But the body and mind ask for a break. Not just a few minutes of break during a long day, nor the hours of sleep, which are often neglected.
In the beginning...
The Lord's day was established as a memorial of creation
February in Brazil is marked by the Carnival festivities—a 5-day long festival stemmed in a tradition of indulgence before lent. It is a time when Brazil attracts many tourists, and also a time when social inhibitions are suspended and the fulfillment of all forms of indulgences are encouraged.
Dear SDARM family around the world,
Christian greetings with:
“I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them” (Revelation 14:13).
Our dear Brother Alfons Balbach went peacefully to rest in the Lord at age 93 in Sacramento CA, USA, on Monday, February 27, 2017.
