A
new brazilian ministry of Midnight Call Mission International
Verbus-
The Missionary Bus
Open
Doors In Brazil
When we
talk about Brazil overseas most people think about soccer,
"Carnaval" and crime. Brazil is all that and more. A huge
and marvelous country, with lots of problems and challenges,
but that is truly opening the doors for the gospel of Jesus
Christ. We are dreaming of taking the Word of God, the good-news
of salvation in Jesus and His Second Coming for the largest
possible number of Brazilians. That's why we started the "Verbus
Project".
What
Is The "Verbus Project"?
Verbus
is a dream that came true! For many years it was only a project.
But now it's real. People have prayed, given offerings and
now the bus is well equipped and ready to go. The "Verbus
Project" has become a new branch of Midnight Call Mission
International, based in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State,
Brazil. Verbus is a Scania bus made into a motor home that
can take up to 12 people for the missionary work anywhere
in Brazil.
Who
Works At Verbus?
The leader
of the project is Reinhold Federolf, a German missionary married
to a Brazilian named Traudi, father of 7 sons and that loves
Brazil. He has been preaching, given audio visual lectures
and distributing Midnight Call's literature for many years.
Now with the bus, the work can be broadened, made easier,
with a bigger staff making the work more effective. Each trip
will have a different staff. Midnight Call workers will take
part in the activities as well as voluntaries, Bible school
students and Sunday School students, from Brazil and abroad.
This will be a very special opportunity to get to know the
different churches and denominations of our country , different
cultures of each region e mainly a chance to serve the Lord
with the gifts their God-given gifts.
Verbus
Practical Work
Congresses,
seminars and church invitations and similar events will be
the starting point for the trip to a certain place. Each trip,
lasting between 2 and 4 weeks, will be used to its fullness
to do as much as possible in that region, selling and distributing
Christian literature, doing services in the churches and in
open-air, schools, parks, etc.
We are
looking forward to get associated with the local churches,
because our experience has shown that the preachings about
the imminent second Coming of Jesus is
Why
the name "Verbus"?
Verbus,
the bus that carries the Word of God. "And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the
Father)"
(John 1:14 KJV). Note that the Portuguese version says "Verbo"
meaning "Verb" instead of Word. So, we want to preach Jesus,
the Verb of Life!
