Couples Banquet

The Good News Bible Church of Araraquara, Sao Paulo is the first church of the Good News Conferece.

Pastor Natal and wife Celene Vasconcelos have been leading this church for 5 years. In July they had their annual couples banquet with a good number of couples enjoying a time of food and fellowship with a timely devotion from the Scriptures. Below are a few pictures of the banquet as well as some pictures of the Bible study group from the church. The church has began to see more visitors and new members join the church. They appreciate your prayers for their outreach into the needy neighborhood called Sao Paulo Park.

July Missions Slogan

Here are a few more pithy mission slogans that challenge us to remember our calling and purpose for being the Church in the world. Please remember to pray for Project Good News Brazil pastors and churches and check out www.pgnbrazil.com for updates.

“Go, send or disobey.”  John Piper

“The mark of a great church is not its seating capacity, but its sending capacity.”   Mark Stachura

“Missions is not the ‘ministry of choice’ for a few hyperactive Christians in the church. Missions is the purpose of the church.”   Unknown

“If the Great Commission is true, our plans are not too big; they are too small.”    Pat Morely
