Celebrating the Luanda church's 24th anniversary

Let's congratulate "Juju" Araújo Rodrigues who was appointed evangelist in Luanda, Angola on Sunday, November 28. This was the highlight of the church's 24th anniversary celebrations, and great encouragement for the Portuguese-speaking churches in Africa.

Juju became a disciple in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1995. He and his wife, Judia, are faithfully serving the church in Angola under very challenging circumstances. The appointment was made by Evangelist and Teacher, Paul Smith, with Evangelist Araujo Franscisco who previously led the church in Angola, also in attendance.
