I'm living in a very special time right now.


As in the illustration of the eagle's renewal at age 40, I am in the process of renewal, a return to my life purpose.


At the age of 16 I was baptized and I already knew that I would contribute to the work of God, I would be a preacher of the gospel. I felt in my heart that one day God would give me a special mission, a work to do, something that would contribute to the expansion of the Kingdom.


Later, at the age of 21 and already graduated in Law, I went to the missionary training of the Church of God in Curitiba and there I was ordained missionary, elder, youth pastor and senior pastor of the fourth church of God (7th day) in Curitiba, in the neighborhood of Vila Hauer.


I also held positions in the national leadership of the Church, as lawyer, treasurer, and administrative president.


After that the church started a movement of total centralization and sympathy for Messianic Judaism which I did not approve of. I left voluntarily and returned to São José do Rio Preto, my hometown, where I held the honorable position of pastor of my family for 12 years.


I threw myself into secular work with a training company. We provide computer courses for children and young people. Later, I worked as a speaker and coordinator of corporate financial education and retirement preparation programs, serving industries and public administration bodies.


I have worked for world class companies like Volvo, renowned universities and important government bodies. In open events, I created the best cash flow course in Brazil, as recognized by the KLA Group.


But in 2015, I felt again the call of God to pastoral activity. We left the small room in Onda Verde, where I was meeting with my family, and we made the commitment to plant a Church of God again (7th day) in the city of São José do Rio Preto.


I was still working as a lawyer and university professor, but this January, I made a very important decision: I put all my titles and diplomas on the floor and put only three sheets of paper on the wall of my office where it says what the subjects are. which I will apply my energy and faith for years to come.


1) The local church of São José do Rio Preto;


2) The publication of the Systematic Theology book (April 2021) and then the creation of the Publishing House;


3) Completion of my Masters (June 2021)

Jovens no Encontro Geral There were incredible moments with the young people. On Saturday morning (12/23), we shared spiritual experiences in Bible school with Pastor Samuel, learning about the perseverance of Joseph (he who was sold as a slave, but who became governor in Egypt). In the afternoon, we participated in a wonderful talk with evangelist Valério about motivation and attitudes. We also had moments of relaxation with conversation circles and team competitions, in which the young people surprised us with super creative war cries. On Sunday, to finish, the young people faced an endurance race, where they had to overcome themselves physically and prove to themselves that in life we will have several obstacles, but if we have God, whenever we fall, He will be ready to pick us up so we can continue, because We may lose a battle, but never the war. We run an incorruptible race, we run towards the goal which is Christ, our Lord, always taking care that no one steals our crown. Throug...

Homens no Encontro Geral The men had their moments of learning and exchanging experiences at the “IDSD 2023 General Meeting”. The first moment was on Saturday afternoon, the lecture by Pastor Gil (Congregation in Peruíbe-SP). The pastor gave a biblical explanation on four very important topics for those who wish to “Grow in Grace and Knowledge”: - Grace: unmerited favor (John 19:30), saving grace (Titus 2:11 and 12), grace to live (Luke 2:52), grace for grace and the truth came through Christ (John 1:17 ). The grace of living is living grace in its fullness, being and acting in such a way that others perceive grace in you. Your life would become the Bible that many sinners will read and your way of acting will witness Christ to them. This grace will draw them to Christ and make them want to live as He lived. - The Spirit of God in man's life: God is present in the lives of his servants in three forms, which the pastor conceptualized as the “three spirits of God”. 1st) rûach (Hb), ...

 Checking one of the previous posts, I see that I wrote on February 10, 2021: "I will apply my energy and faith for years to come: 1) The local church of São José do Rio Preto; 2) The publication of the Systematic Theology book (April 2021) and then the creation of the Publishing House; 3) Completion of my Masters (June 2021) And this is actually what I did: 1. By the grace of our God, the book on Systematic Theology was successfully published. It took three years working on the translation, revision, indexes and publication. We launched a fundraising campaign and had the support of ten local churches. We hired one of the best Christian book publishers who came up with a modern graphic design and printed 300 copies of the book. At this moment 197 copies have already been distributed. Along with the launch of the book, we held the first class of the online course in Systematic Theology with 8 classes, with an introduction and a class for each part of the book. The classes were give...
