Today all the EAB/ACEV churches in Brazil celebrate our 76th anniversary Mission Sunday as today is the nearest Sunday to September 2nd when pioneers Albert and Daisy Mundy arrived in Brazil in 1938. We praise God for all His help and blessing over the years. The work presses on!
EAB/ACEV remains committed to the preaching and practicing of the integral mission of Jesus Christ. As Christ, we seek to teach truth and feed the hungry together (though giving the rod and not the fish); we seek to respect and bless children (and not send them away by listening to disciple-like committees) and we seek to minister to the sick and needy.
EAB is 76 years into planting churches principally in Brazil's poorest north-east region. EAB also carries out a multitude of church coordinated social action projects linked to four programmes:
1. The Sustainable Rural Programme which includes projects such as: wells, horticulture, trees, environmental care, rain harvesters, bee keeping, 4 legs (goats) and 2 wings (chickens).
2. The Care Centre Programme which includes projects with HIV/AIDs, drug addiction, domestic violence, emergency food hampers, dental and basic health care, income generation, senior citizens and the deaf.
3. The Action Child Programme includes 20 small school projects to help poor children with food and education administered with Christian love and care.
4. The Leadership Capacity-building Programme which includes Bible College projects in Patos and Campina Grande, a digital distance teaching project for those outside the College catchment areas and the Green Pastures Conference Centre, Camp Site and Nature Reserve.
