On October 14, 2015, the 37th Reorganization Session of the South Brazilian Union began, and extended until noon on Friday, October 16, 2015. The theme of the session and the Spiritual Conferences that followed that weekend was "United for One Mission" based on Mark 16:15, which talks about preaching the gospel to all creatures. It was on this same topic that the General Conference President, Brother Davi P. Silva, spoke to approximately 700 people on Sabbath morning.
In the afternoon, 7 brethren were ordained—4 as pastors and 3 into the ministry—an unprecedented number of ordinations at one time in that Union. Before sunset, the new leaders of the South Brazilian Union were introduced. We ask that the brethren around the world pray for these brethren who will be on the front lines of God's work in the Southern Brazilian Union for the next three years.
