Year in Review - 2008. Read the Mission Aid Brazil Annual Report for 2008 MA Brazil REFORMED TEACHERS’ SYMPOSIUM. A Reformed teachers’ symposium being organized in Brazil, to be held, the Lord willing, July 7-10 at the Aldeia Training Center in Recife. This conference will be attended by teachers of the Escola Biblica Crista in Sao Jose, Guido deBres School in Recife as well as teachers from the Reformed schools in Unai and Maceio. About 45 teachers are expected to attend. This is an exciting project and will undoubtedly be a rewarding and stimulating time for the teachers attending, as well as a time of good fellowship and learning for all participants. MA Brazil CREDO CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HELPS BUY-A-BUS With CHANGE FOR A CHANGE. During the weeks of February 9th to March 9th the students of CCES had their annual Change For A Change Fundraiser. This year the students raised money for the much needed school bus for Escola Biblica Crista. Each week they would have a fundraiser sale. They sold pizza, ice-cream, cookies and had a small toy and book sale. One grade did chores at home or for others and then donated the money. For every 20 dollars raised the students would get a piece of a bus to hang in the hallway. The goal this year was to raise $2000, they came very close to this goal raising 1902.65. MA Brazil ESCOLA BIBLICA CRISTA PURCHASES NEW BUS. The Escola Biblica Crista was able to purchase a new school bus, thanks in large part to the fund raising efforts by the schools, and the supporting community in western Canada. MA Brazil CREDO CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS BIG CHEQUE Big in size! Big in amount! Ardis Kuik and Evelyn Vane, members of Credo’s Student Action Leadership Team (SALT) presented a cheque in the amount of $7,821.00 to the Buy-A-bus campaign.. MA Brazil Credo Christian High School Helps Buy-A-Bus Campaign Credo Christian High School in Langley, B.C. like many schools in western Canada, dedicated their Missions Week to the Buy-A-Bus campaign which is helping the Escola Biblica Crista replace their aging bus with a new one. MA Brazil M is for Mission Month That’s what the grade three students of John Calvin Elementary School in Yarrow, B.C., together with their teacher, Miss. Julia Byl declared! They came up with An Alphabet About Brazil in conjunction with the Buy-A-Bus Campaign and the fund raising activities that their school is busy with. The grade three class has obviously learned a lot about the mission work in Brazil, and the Mission Aid Brazil board is happy to share their expertise with our website readers. It is wonderful to see how the young Canadians care about the churches, believers, schools and students in Brazil! Teachers, you have Miss. Byl’s permission as well as that of her students to use their ABCs in your classroom as well. MA Brazil Math Olympics The Escola Biblica Crista (EBC) sent this report about their success in a recent Mathematics Competition. Here follows their account of the event, and to what they attribute their mathematical prowess. Note also how enthused they are about the trophy they earned for their champion status! MA Brazil Study Bursaries Mission Aid Brazil allocates some of the funds donated to our committee towards study bursaries. The applicants must be members of one of the churches in Brazil, must show financial need, and must explain how their further education will, the Lord willing, be of benefit to the family of faith in Brazil.
