Believers in Brazil

This one out of Brazil.

Sometimes it’s hard to know how many believers there are in an area, or people group – or in a church, for that matter.  There are those who say they are believers, those who think they are believers, or those who are just confused.  Even if you have a high percentage of believers, how many are willing to lead, to disciple, how many understand enough to share with their neighbours?

This challenge has been brought to light by a survey being done in Porto Alegre, Brazil.  Jeff Dunson, author of M is for Mud Guy, recently posted about some of the things they learned in their survey.  Don’t miss his post The Big Survey from yesterday.

For a little more about Brasil, check out Blake’s slideshow of his time at camp, a post from the Porters about electricity during church (or lack of) in Lights on, Lights off, and from the Bergquists some recent news from earlier this month in Cristoval 2007.  And there’s always lots to read at Comings Communiqué
