The Solidarity Soup Kitchen is a missionary project that takes place every Friday at 8:40pm in downtown Curitiba, Brazil by brethren from the Seventh-Day Adventist Reform Movement Church.
The project began in the county of Abranches in 2009 when the church leader at the time, Brother Angelo Simba, together with his local church brethren, formed a team to distribute soup and clothing to the homeless in their town.
Also pictured are some of the youth who witnessed the baptism of their friends, and the local pastor, Brother Marcos Valerio.
Some years ago, the brethren in Peru invited me to preach at their biennial youth convention held at that time near the Huascarán National Park. Two-thousand people from all over Peru and neighboring countries were in attendance. Each person had to make personal sacrifices and took great pains to attend this youth convention.
On Friday, November 13, Paris was once more under attack. News sources have confirmed that over 100 individuals were confirmed dead, and dozens were injured. At the time of this posting, we are awaiting news from our pastor in the area—Bro. Marcos Valério.
So far we have only received updates from a few of our members in the area stating they are well. We thank God for His Sabbath day, and that many of our brethren were safely at home. We will update this post as more information arrives.
During the first week of November 1-3, the Ecuadorian Union hosted its first National Youth Camp Meeting to encourage the youth of the church and to serve as an outreach to bring other young people, too. The camp meeting was an historical event in that it was the first of its kind since the Reform message entered Ecuador in 1945.
