January 2026:

The Academy of Song Leaders (ARCA)

ARCA recently experienced a special time of fellowship and celebration with a commemorative dinner, marking the graduation of three Song Leaders and the admission of three new students. This gathering reinforced our gratitude to God for the growth of the ministry and for the commitment to excellence in service to the Lord. For this year, a women’s training program is also planned, aimed at meeting the need for children’s music education and providing support for the women’s ministry.

“We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.”
1 Thessalonians 1:2

39th Christian Congress of the Northeast

The EBNESR Ministry Training School once again participated in the 39th Christian Congress of the Northeast, contributing actively through teaching and the edification of the Body of Christ. For 39 years, this workshop has brought together brothers and sisters from all the states of the Northeast, strengthening fellowship, spiritual formation, and commitment to the Word. In recent years, the event has also welcomed brothers and sisters from other regions of Brazil, further expanding its reach and impact.

This year, Ricardo Sobral taught classes directed to the men; Adriano Freire and Elias Campos served as speakers; and Leylane Campos, wife of Elias Campos, taught classes for the women. The School’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to solid ministerial training that is faithful to the Scriptures.

Baptism of Lucimar Espírito Santo

Recently, we celebrated the baptism of Lucimar Espírito Santo, sister of Guiomar Espírito Santo. If you read the previous report, you were able to learn the story of Guiomar and her daughter, Joelma Gomes. It is deeply edifying to see the joy of salvation being transformed into evangelism.

Intensive biblical teaching

Elias Campos conducted an intensive biblical teaching on homiletics for the men at the Peixinhos Congregation, in the metropolitan region of Recife. The time of instruction was marked by biblical depth and practical guidance on the order of worship, preaching, the Lord’s Supper, and offerings. These intensives in local churches aim to support congregations through sound teaching.

“I thank my God every time I remember you.”
Philippians 1:3
