Brazil Director

The “Trump of the Tropics” is the nickname given to Brazil’s newly elected president, Jair Messias Bolsonaro. The first conservative, after nearly 30 years under liberal socialism. Of the four other

presidents who preceded him, there were two impeached and third is in prison for corruption. With very little

campaign funds, almost all of his campaign was done exclusively through social media, (YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp) without the backing of conventional media. He is said to be backed by the three “B”s; Beef, Bible and Bullets. Or farmers, Christians and military. At his acceptance speech, Bolsonaro held up a Bible and read Jn. 8:32 “ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”.

Revival can be a Reality “As long as we are content to live without revival, we will.” -Leonard Ravenhill Brazil is a harvest field ripe for revival. The openness to the gospel and opportunities to preach abound. Recently, our Ingá church had a six week campaign; Good News Bible Clubs in the slum favelas, Teen Connect in public schools, door to door soul winning, Bible studies with the police force, cottage prayer meetings in homes, and an Inter-national community supper are but a few ways in which they’ve spread the gospel.

Did you know that?Brazil’s new elected president, Bolsonaro campaign moto was

“Brazil above everything, God

above everyone“. At his acceptance speech he asked a

Baptist pastor to pray and thank God, rather than a Catholic priest.

Which is a first!

Pray for the new building program!
