In November 2015, an Administration Seminar was held for the Ethiopia Union Mission with the presence of the Regional Secretary, Brother John Bosco.
In January 2016, an Administration and Health Seminar was held in the East Africa Union Mission. The East Africa Union Mission is composed of Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. The members of all the Missions' Executive Committees also participated in the Union Mission Council.
Below are a couple of photos submitted by Brother Bosco from the seminars.
Meetings were held in our church in Cyabayaga, Rwanda, from December 19–21, 2015. The theme of the conference was "The Difference Between the True and the False Faith." There were approximately 239 people present, of which 120 were believers. We were happy to have among us 119 visitors!
On Monday, December 21, we had a baptismal ceremony and 19 souls were welcomed into our church family.
May the Lord continue to bless the work in Rwanda, the souls that attended the meetings, and our new church members.
God bless,
“Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me" (Acts 12:11).
What follows is the experience of Brother Josué Ferreira, a member of our church in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil:
Around the year 1990, my wife Edna, our children, and I traveled to Passos, a city in the state of Minas Gerais in order to spend a week’s vacation at my mother-in-law’s house.
Have you ever thought to yourself: How will I spend the next 5 minutes or $5? We often put much thought into large investments or planned vacations, but let the little pieces of our lives slip without a second thought. It seems like our brain is on autopilot, cruising through life! But are we wasting brain matter?
On December 20th to 27th, the Brethren in Bushtyno, Ukraine attended a Prophecy Seminar on the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.
In preparation for the event, the brethren advertised throughout the area on billboards, inviting individuals to attend the event.
The seminar was conducted by Brother Liviu Tudoroiu. There were approximately 300 people in attendace for the lectures each evening, including many visitors. There were also lovely songs of praise every evening.
