March 2026: - EBNESR Mission Reports

End of the first term of classes for 2026

With gratitude to God, we have completed the first quarter of 2026. Our on-campus program held morning and evening sessions covering Religions, Doctrines and Heresies; Ministerial Guidance; Wisdom Literature; the Minor Prophets; and Philosophical Apologetics. These same subjects were offered through our online evening classes as well. On Saturdays, the classes were edified by the study of Hermeneutics and Exegesis and The Life of Christ. In our intensive format option, students completed studies in Hebrews and the Letters to Asia Minor, further enriching their journey.

We are deeply grateful to God for our supporters, whose generosity makes this work possible. We are confident that the fruit of this time will continue to be seen in the lives and ministries of all who participated.

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

Intensive studies for Churches

Professor Madson Machado taught a course focused on the defense of the Christian faith at the Peixinhos congregation in the Greater Recife area. In an accessible manner, participants learned to understand Christianity in light of history, the scientific method, and investigation. The course addressed the reliability of the Bible, historical records concerning Jesus, and the preservation of biblical texts. It also highlighted the resurrection of Christ as a central event.

It was a productive time of growth and preparation to witness with sensitivity and wisdom the Good News to those who do not yet believe in Jesus.

Professor Ricardo Sobral taught a course on the personal letters of the Apostle Paul in Fortaleza (CE), at the José Walter congregation. During the course, participants were able to deepen their understanding of the Pastoral Epistles, gaining a better grasp of Paul’s care, guidance, and heart as he instructed leaders and the church.

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

Evangelistic class

We held an evangelistic workshop at the EBNESR building titled “How to Read the Bible”. The course was taught by Professor Paulo César with the purpose of creating a welcoming first contact, presenting the Scriptures in a clear and accessible way, and inviting participants to continue in the quarterly evangelistic course. There were 34 attendees, 21 of whom were visitors, demonstrating a clear interest and openness to learning more about God’s Word. With gratitude to the Lord for this beginning, we move forward with the goal of holding one workshop per month, believing that many will still be reached and led into a deeper journey with Christ.
