The A29 Brazil Conference was held in Rio de Janeiro on May 23-25, 2011. The theme was “The Gospel Call: Planting Churches in Light of the Gospel.” We had over a hundred pastors and church planters participate representing eight states in Brazil.
Jonathan Dodson graciously substituted for Steve Timmis, who was unable to join us. Jonathan was joined by Chan Kilgore, myself, Antonio Carlos Costa, Renato Vargens and Felipe Assis (from the Redeemer Network).
After the conference in Brazil, Chan Kilgore and I went and spoke at a one-day church planting event in Santiago, Chile. They gathered 120 people for this event, which is one of the first of it’s kind in Santiago. We had a great time in Santiago with Rev Leandro, Patricio and their team.
Special thanks to Pastor Chan Kilgore who preached 9 times over his time in Brazil and Chile!
Rio is a city of nearly 12 million, and Santiago is a large city of 7.2 million that is very unchurched. It would be great to see a Gospel centered church planting movement grow there.
Out of these events we are receiving requests for events of this type next year in São Paulo and Curitiba, among other cities in Brazil.
Audio should be up within a month.
Thanks for praying with us.
Thanks so much for all work that resulted in a great event. So blessed by it!
