“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.
"Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved. I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life." Phillipian 4:1-3
By God's grace we have finished our events for 2015.
“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3
The following experience is related to us by Brother Edson Custódio, who at the time was the President of the North Brazilian Union.
God has been very good to us, and we see evidences of this on a daily basis. However, one illustration of this that I would like to share is an experience that has left a deep impression in our lives, and whose effects we are still feeling as the result of the power of God.
