Church-Planting Ministry
In the past twenty-two years the Abels have started four congregations in the Curitiba area. Church-planting begins by establishing relationships and sharing the love of Jesus with individuals who, in turn, reach out to others. As people gather together to study the Bible, pray and have fellowship together, churches begin.
In addition to weekly worship services and Sunday school, all four churches offer midweek Bible Studies and weekly programs for youth and for ladies. Monthly prayer vigils and encounters for couples help strengthen the churches.
Please pray for the ministries here!

With the prayer and financial support of many people three church buildings have been constructed for the three congregations. The two city churches also have Sunday School facilities and an area for playing sports. Each congregation has an average attendance of about 100 people. They are still relatively young and need prayer for continued growth.
One of the Abels’ goals for this term on the mission field is to nationalize the fourth congregation. Paul and Becky are focusing on leadership training and encouragement of national workers. They are also praying about a future church plant.
