The Start - Congresso da Paz 2010

Friends, today marks the start of Congresso da Paz 2010, the single largest event that will take place in Santarém this year!  In just a couple hours, thousands upon thousands of people will fill the local stadium, but they won't be there for a game...but rather to see the Holy Spirit descend upon Santarém in a powerful movement of live-giving beauty!


The purpose is evangelism.  The result is salvation.  The way is grace through faith.  Here in Santarém this means three nights of powerful worship, prayer, preaching, dancing, and dramas.  The highlights of this years event will include preaching by Pastor Abe Huber of Igreja da Paz in Fortaleza, a three part drama depicting the life of Joseph, as well as the launching of the first ever CD by the Igreja da Paz worship team in Santarém!


Over 50,000 people are expected to attend.  Many will be church members, but the push is for every believer that attends, they bring with them one non-believer.


Please pray with us!  We expect the Spirit to work powerfully and swiftly during this event!  We declare the salvation of thousands of people!  We pray that God will use this event to HIS HONOR AND GLORY!  Pray for all of the teams and the logistics that must take place for an event like this to happen.  It's a lot of work, but we know that God will be glorified through it!

In the Spirit,
