Pastoreai

Pastoreai is a workshop for families and congregations who desire to establish an eldership. Not many congregations in Brazil have elderships, only 2 churches in the Northeast, that I know of, have elders.

Twenty-two people came, met, talked and discussed the role of elders: what they are, what they do, how they are not perfect, but how also they have the qualities needed to help each member grow in love and service. The previous workshop had 90 participants. The attendance was down this time because it coincided with the presidential election.

I gave a lesson on Abraham. There was a round table session for the speakers to answer questions, and there was good food and fellowship.

Please pray:

that the men of the congregations in will produce elders who exemplify Christ in everything they do;

that young men may desire to serve God in this capacity as well.
