Marincek FWB Church Dedicates New Building


Rejane and I went to Ribeirão Preto for the first Sunday service in the new building at the Marincek FWB Church where Bobby and Geneva Poole serve. The church building dedication was Saturday evening, but we weren't able to go for that because of Marcelo's ordination the same evening.

The service was beautiful with an unusual decoration: many crosses! This was because the church presented a drama about carrying your cross. The drama was the message and at the end several raised their hands for prayer and 2 men came forward for salvation. One of them had been Geneva's English student 10 years ago. Bobby led both men to pray the sinner's prayer in front of the congregation. It certainly made all the hard work that the church had put in to the preparation of the play led by Geneva Poole.

We were told that they had about 220 on hand for the dedication service on Saturday evening, when John Poole preached. The attendance Sunday was about 100 with local visitors as well as visitors from our churches in Jaboticabal and Araras.
