BCE Up-Date
As 1980 draws to a close, we want to

provide you with a brief, but comprehen sive work report. To begin with, I would like to refer to something that happened the latter part oflastyear. Dr. Donald McGavran spent a few days in Brasilia with the
missionaries of the Christian Church.

The time he spent on the technical aspects of how to gather and record Church growth statistics, and on Church Growth principles was important, but, to
me, this was not his most valuable

All during 1979, we worked with two small congregations helping them grow toward the time they would be able to handle their own affairs in a responsible way. By the end of the year, each congregation was ready to take a few steps on their own. The Ner congregation has had a minister living in the community since February. The congregation ended last year with 6 baptisms and 5 transfers. This year, there have only been a few additions (5), but we hope that the
ministers here in Goiania can have more

minister to live and work with them.

Laying Ground Work for a

New

Congregation. The idea of beginning a work in an urban location has been on my

mind for some time. I have read

numerous books on church growth, evangelism and discipleship and have

attended conferences and seminars on

the same subjects. And, as I tried to relate the things I have learned to the situation in which I function, I found myself confronted with what I feel is a
basic need for the work in Goiania.

contribution. Both in public and in private I heard a re-occurring theme. He

kept telling us to encourage, support and

"stick with" the Brazilian leaders under

all circumstances.

He

repeatedly

enjoined us to keep the channels of communication open between mission aries and national leaders. And, he frequently reminded us to "LOVE" them. I suppose these things stood out to me because I have long shared the same convictions and am trying to put them into practice. In one particularly significant private conversation, Dr.
McGavran told me that he had heard of

contact with this sister congregation in 1981 and thus encourage the minister and people in more evangelistic activities. The University congregation has had its "ups-and-downs". But, they are making some progress. Last year, we were able to handle a complicated legal entanglement concerning their land, putting that matter in order. This congregation had 10 baptisms last
December. The socio-economic level of

the people in the University congregation is low, and men of leadership ability are

The normal procedure for church planting here is "bairro" work (locating relatively small congregations in the suburbs). This is good. But, I have always felt that we have needed a more comprehensive program. I think we need to begin a central work in a strategic location where the masses of people come and go daily. Such a work would be one where principles of mass evangelism can be combined with leadership training and discipleship opportunities. Basically, the idea is one of sifting and funneling that we hope to see become:

I got up early one morning And rushed right into the day; I had so much to accomplish That I didn't take time to pray. Problems just tumbling about me,
And heavier came each task;

I wanted to see joy and beauty-But the day toiled on, gray and bleak. I wondered why God didn't show me, He said: "But you didn't seek." I tried to come into God's presence, I used all my keys at the lock. God gently and lovingly chided: "My child, you didn't knock." I woke up early this morning And paused before entering the day; I had so much to accomplish That I had to take time to pray.

ER-sZILIAM CHRISTMAS

Today it is Christmas in the land of coffee*

There is joy and celebration in the home; With other peoples of like faith
One more Christmas, let us celebrate! Without holly and fireside parties. Without the cold, snow-covered fields.

But with palm trees, flowers and summer sun

Our Christmas has its own decoration.

The same story of the infant Jesus Which we have sung a thousand times Brings hours of enchantment, peace and light*
The Christmas of Bethlehems Child. 9

Thank you for sharing with us during

this past.year. As God works through you and through us, the "Christmas of Bethle
hems Child" is taking on new and deeper meaning for many Brazilians.

In joyous celebration,
THE BURRELLS
