River of Life Christian Church em São Paulo

Location: São Paulo Cep, Brasil
Pastor: Reverend Wu Chi Yung
Year started: 2019

Under the leadership of God, after a period of preparation, the River of Life Bread of Life Church in Sao Paulo, Brazil was born in 2019. The River of Life Bread of Life Church in Sao Paulo, Brazil is the first branch of the River of Life Bread of Life Church in Boston founded by Wu Qiyong. The pastor and Pastor Zheng Guoqing served as the first pastor, and there were nearly 50 members at first.

Sao Paulo, Brazil, is the largest city in South America. There are about 300,000 Chinese in total, and there are 33 Chinese churches, but the total number of Chinese Christians is less than 3,000 (including Brazilians and second and third generation non-Chinese speakers). Most Chinese churches that have been in service for more than 30 years have Portuguese and Taiwanese churches. And in Brazil

The church is very prosperous, targeting Brazilian spouses and the second and third generations, but it has ignored the Chinese immigrants in recent years. The main evangelistic target of "River of Life Church in Sao Paulo, Brazil" is this group of neglected people and their second generation. Let their family be changed and renewed because of Jesus, and their family members in China will also be blessed.

The Chinese in St. Paul all came as immigrants. They worked hard and focused on living and making money, but did not have the opportunity to know Jesus. This is an unreached people group who desperately need Jesus. We very much look forward to establishing a church here that preaches the gospel and has a vision of changing people's lives, breaking off the power of darkness, and healing diseases, and preaching the gospel of hope. God will be deeply moved by the call to open up churches in Brazil. St. Paul’s River of Life Bread of Life Church is convinced that God’s intention is to love these people deeply.

Pastor Wu Qiyong adheres to the Silicon Valley River of Life and the four aspects of "worship and praise, renewal of the Holy Spirit, small group church, and global transformation" as the track for building a glorious church. Relying on the Holy Spirit to change people's lives into a church strategy, enabling people to understand the gospel, worship God, and interact with each other

The goal is to help each other, learn from each other, and use our gifts. There is a system to equip, educate and improve the lives and spiritual life of believers, cultivate core committed co-workers, and at the same time help brothers and sisters live a life changed by God at home and in the workplace, and witness and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus. Save Chinese souls, update values, marriage, and family values, and adopt feasible and universal strategies step by step. The goal for 2025 is to add Chinese and Spanish-speaking branches.

在上帝帶領下,經過一段時間的籌備,巴西聖保羅生命河靈糧堂在2019年誕生,巴西聖保羅生命河靈糧堂是波士頓生命河靈糧堂在巴西所開創的第一間分堂,由吳啓庸牧師和鄭國卿牧師配搭擔任首任牧師,最初會友將近50位。

巴西聖保羅市,是南美洲最大城市,華人總共有30萬人左右,華人教會有33間,但華人基督徒總數不到3000人(其中還包括巴西人及第二、三代不暗華語的),超過30年以上的華人教會大都設有葡語堂及台語堂。而巴西當地
教會非常興盛,對象是巴西人配偶及第二、三代,卻忽略了近年來的中國移民。『巴西聖保羅生命河靈糧堂』主要的福音對象就是這群被忽略的人及他們的第二代。讓他們因著耶穌生命家庭被改變被更新,也能使在中國的家人也蒙受祝福。

在聖保羅的中國人,當初皆以移民身份到來,憑著刻苦耐勞,重心皆放在生活與賺錢,而沒有機會認識耶穌。這是未得之民,他們非常需要耶穌。我們非常期盼在此建立傳福音而且使人生命、生活被改變、黑暗權勢被斷開、疾病得醫治為異象的教會,傳揚盼望的福音,神將開拓教會的呼召深刻的感動在巴西聖保羅生命河靈糧堂的心,深信神的心意是深深愛著這群人。

吳啓庸牧師以秉持矽谷生命河及母堂以「敬拜讚美、聖靈更新、小組教會、全地轉化」四個方面作為建造榮耀教會的軌道。靠著聖靈使人生命改變為教會策略,使人明白福音、敬拜上帝、互相幫助、彼此學習、發揮恩賜為目標。有系統來裝備造就提升信徒生活及靈命,培育出核心委身同工,同時幫助弟兄姊能在家庭和工作場所活出被神改變的生命,見證榮耀主耶穌聖名。搶救華人靈魂,更新價值、婚姻、家庭觀,按部就班採可行性、普遍性策略事工。2025年的目標是增設華語和西班牙語分堂。

Please pray for the faith and church life of newly baptized believers, that they may be strengthened by the Holy Spirit in their faith journey, unshaken by circumstances and undeterred by temptations that could steal their passion.
