Jonathan Abel's have been in Maringa since end of 2004, with the purpose of planting a church. They started out by meeting in the garage of their home for around year.
The church was then offered the free use of an English school to meet on Sundays. During the the week the church still met in their home for Bible Studies, and for Special Programs, like Good Friday (for communion) and Easter (for breakfast).
Since we came to Maringa, the church have been saving money to buy property to build a church. With offerings, tithes and gifts they have saved just to buy this property.
Jonathan says, "It is not as big as we hoped, but it is big enough for our purposes. It is a corner lot on a nice avenue (not a busy one) in a pleasant neighborhood. We looked at many properties, but nothing worked out until this one. Best of all, we had everyone's blessing & approval! We Praise the Lord and now begin our faith journey to build. Keep us in your prayers and thank you to those who have been praying with us during these four plus years!"
