Saturday, the 16th, I baptized Ilma, a young wife and mother, into Christ. Ilma's husband Anderson is an unfaithful Christian. She studied the gospel with Bete, who used our "Know God" series of studies developed in 1985.

Yesterday the SJCampos church had, as far as I know, a record Sunday attendance. Seventy people crowded into the Hotel Astor conference room, without any special Friends' Day or campaign. A good sign of growth.

Eight of those attending were adult non-members, three of whom are in personal Bible studies.

Several people are conducting personal studies with non-Christians.

• Randal & Vicki with Anibal and Ana Paula
• Vicki with Daniella
• Paulo with Rafael
• Wilson and Bete with Carlinhos and Solange
• Wilson with Luiz

If all goes well, we will move to our new rented quarters the first Sunday of September. Wilson is working hard to get everything prepared for the move. Chairs have been delivered, and classroom dividers will be installed by then. A few details may remain, but we'll take care of those as we go.

BZeal focuses on the progress of the gospel in Brazil and around the world. Please share this email with friends.
