Brazil 55-92-3232-8820 or 3232-1848 Facebook: Global Missions “A bishop must be a lover of good men…” Titus. 1:6 TO ADVANCE, ANY ORGANIZATION MUST HAVE GOOD MEN. In the half century of working in Brazil we have seen many leaders and saints come and go. It is our prayer that the UPC of Brazil has good men in leadership. God has answered our prayer. Edino Zonta, National and International Director of Missions Cezar Rener, ABI President, Manaus Eliza Rocha, Director of Ladies Ministries Bro. Edino Zonta (top photo) a business man and printer was reached by tract ministry and evangelism. After ABI in Manaus he founded a home missions church and we placed him over national and international missions. So far this year he has promoted and sent five couples to start new churches in other parts of Brazil. He promoted sending five couples to other Portuguese countries in Europe and Africa and this week helped purchase a lot in Portuguese Guinea Bissaú, Africa for a central church and Bible school. Bro. Cezar Rener, (2nd photo) an ex-RC priest, out of curiosity entered our church to check out SFT studies and received the Holy Ghost and later married our ABI secretary. They both work hard helping Sis. DeMerchant organize, print and distribute Portuguese textbooks to 2,500 Bible school students in 125 other locations in Brazil. Sis. Eliza Rocha (3rd photo) was a secular school teacher who found this great Apostolic truth and worked closely with our church in Minas Gerais state in central Brazil. She pastors a fine church in Timotio, runs a Bible school and organizes the national Ladies Ministry movement in UPC of Brazil who have built many home missions churches, sent couples to new cities, and helped furnish Brazilian-sent missionary homes in other countries. God has given us greatly-needed trained leaders. The leaders are working together to finish eleven “Jerusalem Conference Centers” for large meetings of our church in Brazil. (Eirunepé JCC bottom photo) There are hundreds of leaders working together who annually bring in a harvest of souls in our work in Brazil and we thank God for each one of these. Thousands of great Brazilian saints and leaders join with us to thank you for your prayers and faithful support!
