A baptism of 19 souls and a weekend of special meetings were held in our church in Cyabayaga, Rwanda, from December 19–21, 2015.

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,

God works miracles for His people on a daily basis. Bro. Custódio shares how God blessed the church's school in the North Brazilian Union.

“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.

In this New Year, try to challenge your brain to think about the minutest details!

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?
