One new minister was ordained at the EAB/ACEV annual Field Conference this year held at Itaporanga. The focus for the coming 2015/2016 year was set as 'United we are Stronger' based around John 17:21. Praise God that we experienced this unity at the Conference.
Statistics showed that our 85 churches remained stable in numbers (about 3,600) over the past year with an increase in members and a decrease in the number of Christians in our churches who are not yet members. People evangelized were about 200,000 and those benefitted by social action projects about 100,000. The general assembly felt the latter statistic was more realistic than the former and that the number of those evangelized was probably inflated by over ambitious estimates of those evangelized via our 8 radio ministries spread around the field. Thus for next year a set and uniform way of making these radio audience estimates was put in place. Probably a more realistic evangelism figure for this year would be around 150,000 which is still truly wonderful. PTL!
