June 2025 - EBNESR Mission Reports

Graduaion

The 2025 Theology Course graduation was marked by deep gratitude to God for the training of 14 workers—men and women—from five different states of Brazil, as well as one student from Mozambique. This special moment reaffirms EBNESR School’s commitment to the solid, biblical formation of those dedicated to serving God’s Kingdom, strengthening local churches, and taking the Word to various regions of Brazil and beyond its borders.

Visit from the American Brethren

We were honored to receive a visit from our brothers and sisters Amy Walker, Cindy Story, Tammy Chester, Chip Smith, Rick McBrayer, John Kelly, Randy Short, and Kathy Short, representing the Bellevue, Winchester, and New Center Grove Churches of Christ. They spent a week with us, bringing edification, encouragement, and a renewed sense of purpose to our mission. During their time here, we were greatly blessed by uplifting messages shared by Chip Smith and John Kelly. Taking advantage of the occasion, brother Randy Short also taught a course on Restoration Hermeneutics. We are truly grateful and joyful for the time we were able to spend together.

Evangelistic Courses

With great joy, we celebrate the baptism of three more people during the evangelistic course offered by the EBNESR Ministry Training School. This special moment is the result of dedicated teaching and discipleship carried out with love and commitment. We praise God for these lives that have decided to follow Christ, and we remain encouraged in our mission to make faithful disciples through the preaching of the gospel.
