Nearly 130 Brazilians and guests filled the Pavilion at the Hyatt Regency Suites Northwest in Marietta, GA, to celebrate the grand opening of Christian Church Brazilian, September 6. The vision for the church began over four years ago with a challenge from Wayne Long, who was then Executive Director of the Mission, to the Christian churches in Atlanta to help start a church to reach the over 30,000 Portuguese live in their city.

Sérgio and Márcia Santos were called from Brazil to begin the church. They arrived in the United States in May of 2008. They studied English and prepared themselves to minister to the needs of the immigrant population.

Beginning in a house in Kennesaw, GA, on March 6 of this year, the attendance quickly outgrew that space. The church moved into two rented rooms at the hotel in Marietta, which is the center of the Brazilian population in Atlanta. Beginning September 13, worship services will be held each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at the Brumby Elementary School, 1306 Powers Ferry Road SE, Marietta. One third of the students in this school are Brazilian.
