New Life Baptist Church - Began in 1989
Our first services were held in a public school. For three weekends our team showed evangelical films to the community. Hundreds of people came and from these contacts we began visiting every home of those who watched the film. Nine months after the first service we met in one room of our church building. In that first year many groups from the States came to help in the construction process. Evangelist preached in to our people and many came to Christ. One such family was that of Celso and Angela Botelho. A short time after Steve Pettit preach a week of meeting this family along with other relatives came to know the Lord. As a result there five preachers in this family. God has used this particular ministry to send many students to Bible college many of whom are in the ministry today.
