Brazil—In a historic moment for the Reform Movement in Brazil, delegates from various Fields and Mission Fields gathered from September 23 to 28, 2025, in Aquiraz, Ceará, for the 12th Reorganization Session of the North Brazilian Union.

The meeting, which brought together 148 delegates representing the regions served by the former Union, marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another: by majority vote, the plenary approved the division, giving rise to two new administrations: the Central Brazilian Union and the North-Northeastern Brazilian Union.

More than an administrative change, the division symbolizes a new step of growth and maturity. The increase in membership and the strengthening of local churches made it necessary to establish a closer and more agile structure, capable of effectively serving the missionary areas.

Following this, from September 30 to October 3, 2025, the 40th Reorganization Session of the South Brazilian Union brought together 127 delegates at Chácara Ebenézer, in Itu, São Paulo. The meeting consolidated a historic reorganization: the creation of two missionary units: the South Brazilian and the Southwestern Brazilian Union.

Beyond an administrative restructuring, the decision expresses the maturity of a field that has learned to divide responsibilities in order to multiply and enhance results. Under the theme “Serve to Save,” the session gathered reports, reflections, and prayers over four days of intense work and spiritual focus.

Completed during the 2025 sessions, the reorganization of the Brazilian Unions reached a new historic milestone with the Unified Union Council, held on October 7–8, 2025, at Chácara Ebenézer. This was the first meeting of this entity, bringing together the four new Unions within the national territory.

The gathering brought together representatives of the South, Southwest, Central, and North-Northeast Unions with the purpose of defining the leaders of the Reform Movement institutions throughout the country and establishing administrative guidelines for the next four-year term.

Under the leadership of Pastor Carlos Linares, the meetings took place in an atmosphere of fellowship, gratitude, and purpose. Each decision reflected the spirit of unity that characterized the reorganization of the Brazilian field throughout 2025.

“The four Unions now march in harmony, sharing the same purpose,” Pastor Linares emphasized at the opening. The meeting concluded in an atmosphere of gratitude and spiritual renewal. The Unified Council ended its first session leaving a clear message: administrative unity and unity of faith walk hand in hand. Each vote and decision reflect a shared ideal—to plan with wisdom in order to serve with love.
