We are now less than three months away from starting our second church here in Londrina and our fourth church in Brazil. God has provided and we are getting ready to start into the home stretch for the inauguration of this church. It is exciting.
The Lord has blessed and we now have the funds in hands to rent the building for well over a year. I rented the building for our church services on June 28th, 2007. We have also bought 100 new chairs for this work, plus we have received the money to build the pulpit and communion tables for the church.
Building Rented For New Church
This building is located just across the street from the three lots that we purchased for this work three years ago.
Six Weekends of Evangelist Services
When we start, we will hold an evangelistic campaign each weekend for at least the first six weeks.
When we started our Third Church less than 5 years ago, the Lord gave us 500 first time visitors in the first five months. We did a lot of advertising for that work and it paid off in visitors and souls saved. I would do that again at this church.
Inside the Newly Rented Church
The Lord has been gracious and has brought the funds for the rent for a year, pulpit, and chairs. Can you help us with part of the rest?
We need to get the Sound System and that will cost about $1,000.00. We need to purchase a case or two of Bibles (Trinitarian Bibles based on the TR/ KJV). A case of Hardback Bibles cost about $100.00 a case. We need to start printing up literature that we will pass out for each of the six weekend evangelistic campaigns. Each piece of literature has the Roman Road Plan of Salvation and the sinner’s prayer on the back. We would like to pass out 5,000 to 10,000 invitations door to door each weekend. We need to get the name painted on the church and the building painted. It will cost us about $300 for painting. It will cost us about $2,000 to $3,000 to print up the literature.
