“THERE ARE NO LIMITS ANYMORE! NOW THE GOSPEL OF GRACE IS PREACHED TO THE WHOLE WORLD!” “See I’m doing a new thing! Now it springs up…”
Rightly said the Apostle Paul that to live by the genuine grace of God is to live in newness of life! That is right, that is how we live in our ministry and in our Church. Every day there is something new from God, signs, miracles, prodigies… We can say that we are now living in a new spiritual dimension of God’s supernature, being surprised by Him day by day and impacted with his acts, bringing to all of us a truly new ministry being able to live a life without limits. The Bible says that God does much more than we can ask or imagine. Or when God does something tremendous that we did not even asked for? We definitely wonder and dream of many things for the ministry, we make plans for the future and wait until they come true. Many times we tend to be-
lieve that the Lord won´t deliver to us what we have been asking Him for, but sovereignly and in a spirit of anticipation, He makes it happen. And it comes to fruition in the month of August, the simultaneous interpretation of the services in English. These are the designs of God once again being established and prevailing. We always had foreigners visiting us in the services and in these recent years it intensified, as well as we received, officially, new members of our Church, brothers from the United States and from England. The difficulty of these blessed ones to understand the message preached in Portuguese did the love that God has for them disturbs Bishop’s Rai heart. He then prayed and ordered for proper simultaneous interpretation equipment. However, someone was needed to operate it, in order to be used during the services,
to interpret simultaneously the message as the “gringos” received their devices and headphones, so they could hear the message in English. The blessings of the Lord are complete. His work is always perfect. He provided people to spread His good news. Brothers who can speak English. People who have lived abroad and are willing to translate and interpret the messages. Therefore, we now have a team of translators doing a unique work, coordinated by the blessed Cyndi Brant, wife of Pastor Fernando Brant, with the supervision of Bishop Rai. Everyone has been working hard, studying more and more, especially to master the proper Biblical terms to do the best for the Lord. Nowadays it is possible for those who visit the services and do not understand Portuguese to hear the Gospel in English.
This new reality made the project expand. On Sundays we have also been broadcasting the services in English on the internet. Everything is happening exactly as we prophesied one year ago, saying that we would become a Church without any boundaries. No more limits, no more barriers, no one can prevent the spread of the gospel of Grace of God and the revelation of the mysteries that have been hidden since the beginning of the world. In the end of times the Lord wants to use us as a ministry of Grace, to announce the good news to everyone. In fulfillment of the great commission, we are going to preach the gospel to every creature. God in His sovereignty keeps doing His work and is continually bringing something new!
