BRAZIL Group of Active Youth Wins Protestant Church

Young people from the Sao Gabriel church in Aguia Branca, Brazil, re- cently held a series of evangelistic meetings with the purpose of estab- lishing a new church. They were in- strumental in converting to Adventism a former Protestant minister and his congregation—and acquiring the church building, besides. Since they were unable to secure a meeting place of their own, they asked the Protestant congregation for per- mission to use their building for the proposed series of meetings. After a vigorous advertising campaign that included a sign in front of the church, saying: "The Voice of Youth invites you to attend the nightly meetings held here concerning vibrant issues of the day," the group began their series.
