Luso-Brazilian Church Celebrates 54th Anniversary

Story by Stephen Lee
 
New Jersey Conference's Luso-Brazilian church in Newark, N.J. just celebrated its 54th anniversary. Attendees included Pablo Cisneros and Ozeias Reis, the Luso-Brazilian senior and associate pastors, respectively. Also present were many church members, guests, pioneers of the church and members from sister churches.
 
“For the celebration of this important date, the platform was remodeled,” says Cisneros. “Thanks to the support of an architect in Brazil, a modern and elegant project was realized. The church became more beautiful, all for the glory of God. We know that the [church] is not an end in itself, but a means to preach the good news of the gospel."
 
Church leaders and members held a worship service, calling all to commit themselves to the evangelism projects of the church. The ceremony ended with a baptismal feast, with many people making decisions to give their lives to Christ.
