SJC Church Has Baptism, Record Attendance
by J. Randal Matheny

Saturday, the 16th, I baptized Ilma, a young wife and
mother, into Christ. Ilma's husband Anderson is an
unfaithful Christian. She studied the gospel with Bete,
who used our "Know God" series of studies developed in
1985.

Sunday the SJCampos church had, as far as I know, a
record Sunday attendance. Seventy people crowded into
the Hotel Astor conference room, without any special
Friends' Day or campaign. A good sign of growth.

Eight of those attending were adult non-members, three
of whom are in personal Bible studies.

Several people are conducting personal studies with
non-Christians.

  * Randal & Vicki with Anibal and Ana Paula
  * Vicki with Daniella
  * Paulo with Rafael
  * Wilson and Bete with Carlinhos and Solange
  * Wilson with Luiz

If all goes well, we will move to our new rented
quarters the first Sunday of September. Wilson is
working hard to get everything prepared for the move.
Chairs have been delivered, and classroom dividers will
be installed by then. A few details may remain, but
we'll take care of those as we go.
