| Rod and Linda Nealeigh, arrived in 1988 with three other families and committed to doing the Lord’s work in Curitiba for five years. As their love for the people grew and the Lord continued to work powerfully, they made their home in Curitiba. The church grew to over 300 members, purchased land, and built an attractive building on a main avenue where it is accessible and visible to Curitiba’s 2.5 million people. With over 25 active ministries lead by faithful disciples of Christ and 18 small groups which meet during the week, this church, which is home to the Bible Institute of Southern Brazil, is now instrumental in planting other churches. | |||||
| Brazil is in the midst of a spiritual awakening. The predominantly catholic history is being questioned as relevant and true. The people are seeking meaning and relevance in spiritual matters. | |||||

Although faithful brethren are being trained to become future overseers and deacons, there remains an urgent need for faithful Brazilian brethren who are equipped and prepared to reach the lost with the gospel, the truth of God for their salvation. Although the church in Curitiba is responsible for training schools in the north, central, and southern regions of Brazil, strong churches that are visible and active in these major cities is still needed. The church in Curitiba is a growing, generous body of believers with a vision to plant these churches. May the Lord continue to do great things through the brothers and sisters in Christ in this city. | ||||
