Update from the ARCA

In the beginning of March we held an 8-day tent Evangelism campaign in a village between Bateias and Campo Largo. Paul’s folks were the motivation behind this outreach and we are happy to report of several decisions for Christ and new people coming to church. The person that stands out in my mind is a man named Antonio who gave his heart to the Lord during the special meetings. Antonio had been an alcoholic for many years. He has not had a drop to drink since his decision during the campaign and is so thrilled to come to church and be a part of his new family!

Andrew was a great help during the week of meetings. He recorded an announcement and went around the neighborhood inviting people to come to the meetings using a loudspeaker mounted on the pickup. He made another recording to invite people to the Passion Play for Easter weekend. Presently Andrew is helping with another evangelism campaign in Londrina with his grandparents, John and Ruby Abel.
