(soun POW-loo) – In the heart of Higienopolis, a historic and upscale neighborhood in Sao Paulo known for its elegant architecture, leafy streets, and prestigious universities, stands Igreja Batista da Familia (Family Baptist Church). Surrounded by young professionals, ambitious university students, and influential members of the upper class, the church longs to share the hope of the gospel with those who live and work there. These neighbors often seem secure and successful on the outside, but many are spiritually searching. The church’s leaders desire to build genuine relationships and open doors for meaningful conversations about faith. They are seeking God’s wisdom as they learn how to approach and connect with this community in culturally sensitive and relevant ways. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide them, giving them courage, discernment, and creativity as they engage the people of Higienopolis with the message of Jesus.
