On Saturday, November 7, 2026, we shared a very special moment: the celebration of the Thanksgiving Service for the 61st anniversary of the church in Ibitinga. It was an evening of praise, gratitude, and fellowship, as we acknowledged the Lord's faithfulness throughout so many decades.
United in One Purpose
The celebration was attended by brothers and sisters from several congregations, who came to join us in glorifying God. It was beautiful to see the house of the Lord full and His people gathered together in one purpose: to give thanks for all that He has done.
Memories of a Journey of Faith
Many pastors were also present, among them Pastors Lair, Genéso, and Adail, who reflected on the history of the ministry since the days of Pastor Samuel Alves de Arruda, through whom the Lord revealed the doctrines we believe, such as:
The Oneness of God;
Baptism in the Name of Jesus;
The wearing of the head covering by the sisters;
The Holy Kiss and Foot Washing;
among so many other blessings the Lord has poured out upon His people along this journey.
Gratitude for the Past, Faith for the Future
We are grateful to God for every life that has been and still is part of this story, and for all that He will yet do. Thus far the Lord has helped us!
