Nearly 115 people attended an evangelistic service at the Petropolis Alliance Church in Porto Alegre, Brazil. “Normally, [our congregation] averages 65,” said C&MA missionary Sanford Hashimoto. The event featured puppets, games, and a gospel message, followed by a soup dinner.
Earlier this summer, the church relocated from a hotel to a rented storefront. “Now we are able to meet in the new location daily instead of only once a week on Sunday,” said Hashimoto. “Everyone is excited, and our church is growing in numbers. Pray for us as we preach, teach, and share the good news of Jesus Christ.”
