Independent Baptist Congregation, Serraria 26 October 2006
Last night Andrew preached at the little church in the Serraria, a neighbourhood on the continent, on the outskirts of the city. Alexandre, a former IBE student is pastoring, and it was good to see him, Andressa, their children and other old friends from the Independent Baptists. The denomination is classical pentecostal, and Alexandre's style is very much in keeping with that. However, unusually in that context, he is committed to consecutive exposition, and his understanding of the gospel is decidedly calvinistic. I miss him and the rest of his class at IBE! There are some photos of the inauguration of the congregation here. They meet in a rented garage.
