Currently, NEBUM has about 100,869 members enrolled in Sabbath School representing approximately 48 percent of the full baptized members in the union. In addition, there are 17 educational institutions in operation in NEBUM and many people have already had contact with the bulletin of conservancy through the work done in these institutions. In total, 8,142 students are enrolled in these schools.iii

All of these also function as Adventist churches and serve the customs past promoting workshops and events that work every bit part of the evangelism strategy.nine

For the shine running of the work, NEBUM has 76 servers. Amid them, there are seven ordained pastors who work directly at the administrative headquarters and two other pastors who piece of work at Pernambuco Adventist Academy, ane of whom is ordained.x

Organizational History

Until 1995, the country of Brazil was organized into iv unions: South Brazil Union, Central Brazil Union, Due east Brazil Union, and North Brazil Spousal relationship. However, that year the cosmos of the Northeast Brazil Union Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (NEBUM) was authorized through activeness 95-323.xi The commission that authorized this new formation took place between November 27 and December half-dozen, 1995. It was agreed to reorganize Eastward Brazil Matrimony and North Brazil Union to create a new union mission composed of the Bahia Conference, the Sergipe-Alagoas Missão (now the Sergipe Mission), the Northeast Brazil Mission, and the North Coast Mission (now Ceara Briefing). Thus, the progress of the work in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, and Bahia came under the administrative care of NEBUM.12

In the territory in which NEBUM was established, in that location were 489 organized churches and 131,463 Adventists among almost 39 million people (an average of ane Adventist per 295 people).13 In about a hundred years since Adventism arrived in that region, the Seventh-mean solar day Adventist Church had reached, by the grace of God, 900 cities in the territory. Yet, although the evangelistic advance was significant in all the states that were part of the union, there were still many challenges to be overcome. An example was the almost one,000 cities that were still without whatever Adventist presence.xiv

The improvised headquarters of the new union mission was at Estrada de Belém, 885, Campo Grande, in the urban center of Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco.fifteen The commission appointed by the South American Partition (SAD) also deliberated on the first NEBUM leaders. Thus, through activeness 95-333, the following administrators were elected: Helder Roger C. Silva as president and Ivo de Azevedo Vasconcelos equally secretarial assistant and treasurer.xvi Its first executive session took place on December 5, 1995, with Helder Roger Cavalcanti Silva, Ivo de Azevedo Vasconcelos, Alípio B. da Rosa, Erich Olm, Gustavo Pires da Silva, José Elias Zanoteli, Ruy H. Nagel, Samuel Ramos, and Zeferino Stabnov beingness present. Guests Carlos Alberto Rosa de Oliveira, Clóvis Ferreira Bunzen Júnior, and Josemir Azevedo were likewise nowadays.17

NEBUM started its activities on Jan 1st, 1996. Since its foundation, the declared mission of this administrative unit of the Church building has been "to make disciples of Jesus Christ who alive as His witnesses of love and proclaim to all people the eternal gospel of the 3 angels message in training for His soon return."18 In its first year of existence, NEBUM baptized 18,423 people, 85.5 percentage of the proposed target. In the Northward Coast Conference, the target was exceeded past 7 percentage and in the Sergipe-Alagoas Mission, by two pct. The Northeast Mission reached 85.three percent and the Bahia Conference 75.01 percentage of their respective targets.19

The initial phase was marked by the formation of new leaders. Based on inquiry amid 500 Northeastern Union Adventist members, the decision made was that authoritative departments should take 50 percent lay members. The research also showed there was a demand to improve some aspects of the piece of work, namely unity, integration, advice, information, and planning. Another aspect highlighted by the interviewees was better training of the pastors for the realities of the region, including topics such as the orientation of young people, pastoral visitation, and observance of the health bulletin.20

The 1997 enquiry culminated in the first Commune Leaders Training Coming together. About 500 people participated in the meeting held between March 20 and 23 in Maceió, upper-case letter of the country of Alagoas. The concerns for the union were answered and in response a pocket-size grouping model21 emerged, which became a very efficient form of interaction and evangelism. Similarly, in the urban center of João Pessoa, about seventy percent of active members in the small groups were people who came back to the church building as a result of this type of work. This was an of import milestone in the way NEBUM started to evangelize.22

Another memorable event in the history of this union was holding its offset camporee23 for Pathfinders in the wedlock, with the theme "Sempre Vencendo" [Always Winning]. This upshot was held in the city of Feira de Santana, in the state of Bahia, between November 11 and 15, 1999.24 On the other hand, the wedlock experienced a significant fiscal loss on August one, 2000, when Northeast Brazil Academy (ENA) was seriously damaged by a flood. Estimated losses were approximately Us$ 250,000 (R$ 1 million). The report past civil engineer Nicanor dos Santos Modesto, who NEBUM sent to investigate and assess the damage, stated that ENA'southward geographic position was one of the factors that contributed to the calamity that took place.25

The academy was in a valley surrounded past hills and the Panelas Stream encircled the university in the shape of a "u." The erosion process widened the stream by 150 meters and destroyed three bridges that connected the schoolyard with the teachers' homes, between the sanitation network and the electrical installations and among other annexes that no longer be. Interestingly, the chapel building protected other buildings from even greater damage. Yet, a hole approximately 13 feet (4 meters) in bore was fabricated in ane of the walls of the chapel and all the benches and the piano were dragged downstream.26

After the ending, pastor Enilson Pedreira (higher chaplain and restoration coordinator), held a meeting with all the administrative leadership and the church elders. During the meeting, the conclusion was reached was to transform ENA into the Adventist Preparation and Recreation Heart (CATRE). That decision ended the school'due south 57-twelvemonth history.27 Other facilities were congenital in the country of Bahia, where Bahia Adventist Higher (FADBA) still operates today. The fact that the area where FADBA is located afterward became part of the territory of the East Brazil Union created the need to establish a boarding school in NEBUM territory. This demand was met with the construction of Pernambucano Adventist Academy.28

With further advancement of the work, in 1999 the Pernambucana and Bahia Sul Conferences were created.29 The following year, the Adventist Church in Northeast Brazil already had 191,000 members in 154 pastoral districts and was present in 58 per centum of the northeastern cities. In fact, in the start 5 years of NEBUM'due south beingness, effectually 103,000 new members were baptized. Another highlight of this v-year menstruum was the completion of Maceió Adventist University, with 32,292 sq. ft. (3,000 m²) of floor infinite, which the Ministry building of Didactics of Brazil considered the about modern school in the state at the time.

That same twelvemonth, an Lamentable executive coming together, held between December four and 6, named pastors who would be the next leaders of NEBUM. They were: Helder Roger Cavalcanti Silva as president, Jair Garcia Góis as secretary, and Ivo de Azevedo Vasconcelos as treasurer.30 During another meeting, which took identify from Dec 18 to 20, 2000, the opening of six new Adventist churches was celebrated in the city of Juazeiro practice Norte, in the state of Ceará, the land of the late Male parent Cícero (a well-known Catholic priest of smashing social, political, and religious influence in the Northeast Region). Nevertheless, amid the challenges of such stanchness, the eternal gospel has advanced, and the Northeast Matrimony has jumped from 84 to 146 cities with an Adventist presence.31

Later, between June xix and 24, 2003, the second NEBUM Pathfinder camporee took place. The city of Aracaju, in the state of Sergipe, hosted the event that brought together 8,500 Pathfinders. Adventist youth blest the city past planting trees, cleaning Atalaia beach, donating blood, distributing 1,500 food baskets to needy communities, and a march to fight drug use and violence.32 In the post-obit year (2004), the Bahia Central Mission was created.33 The Adventist bulletin continued to accelerate on northeastern soil.

Among the primary missionary movements developed in the Northeast Union territory, the Caleb Mission Project stands out.34 The first project in NEBUM happened in 2007 when the number of volunteers surprised even the nigh optimistic forecasts. The initial target was to class a team of 100 young Adventists from across the northeast, but instead 545 young people joined the program. Each pupil received a missionary kit with sermon guides, a Bible, Bible studies, and other evangelistic tools. The price of transportation to the assigned site was paid by each volunteer, while the lodging and food were provided by the local churches. This offset evangelistic advance lasted xxx days. They preached at night and visited those interested during the day.35

At the end of the holiday period, the work carried out at the 48 missionary sites called by the organizers of the Caleb Mission resulted in two,421 baptisms and another 12,100 people heard the Adventist bulletin. This swell success marked the beginning of ane of the earth'south largest youth evangelism projects. Currently, missionaries from viii Southward American countries dedicate their January and/or July holiday to "Salvation and Service." These volunteers grade an army of more than 33,000 people who carry the message of promise throughout the South American Partitioning.36

Another evangelistic project widely held in the territory covered past the Northeast Brazil Union is Hope Impact.37 In 2010, through this project, most two one thousand thousand missionary books were distributed to the community. This is ane of the means in which the gospel has been preached and the mission has been fulfilled. However, these are not the only evangelistic programs that take identify in the Northeast Marriage.38

In add-on to the programs already mentioned, other projects such as One Year in Mission (OYiM),39 Holy Week,xl and the regular work of small groups are carried out. These and other evangelistic movements accept resulted, past divine blessings, in an average of 25,000 people baptized per twelvemonth.41 Even so, despite this success, by the end of the showtime decade of the 2000s, there were still about 650 northeastern cities without an Adventist presence, a challenge to be overcome.42

Many preparations were made then that, in 2010, the third camporee in NEBUM could exist held, with the title "Nascidos para Brilhar" (Built-in to Shine). This event took identify betwixt February 11 and sixteen of that yr, at the Aristófanes Fernandes Exhibition Park, in the city of Paramirim, in Rio Grande exercise Norte State, bringing together most 14,000 pathfinders from around the union. During the camp, appeals were made to the teenagers to read the Bible more, give themselves to Jesus, and actively participate in the mission of bringing salvation to friends and family.43

In addition, the issue had several moments of celebration, socialization, spiritual letters, sports contests, and solidarity. Pathfinders were also able to demonstrate their knowledge by participating in various contests about the Bible, Christian oratory, sacred music, and Adventist Church history. Withal, the main celebrations of the camporee were the baptisms that took place every night and the investiture of near 400 pathfinder leaders.44

During the event, the project "State of Hope"45 was launched, challenging volunteers to leave their cities to alive in municipalities where the Adventist presence had non yet been established and to build at to the lowest degree one church in these locations. Juveniles were challenged to save R$ 10 (about U.s.a.$ three.00) to assist in the structure of new churches in cities not yet reached past the Church. Later, on April 24, 2010, those who decided to participate in the projection received a special insignia congratulating them for engaging in the program.46 In this way, the involvement of teenagers, youth, adults, and the elderly in evangelism and mission has become a feature of all efforts made in the Northeast Spousal relationship.

The following year, in 2011, the target of the Land of Hope was to establish 200 new congregations. Between 2011 and 2015, the proposed target was to take 1,000 congregations in the 650 cities that did not yet have an Adventist presence. Of these cities, nearly 66 percent were home to less than x,000 inhabitants with a high poverty charge per unit and challenging accessibility. With this target in heed, 104 groups (entrepreneurs, administrators, young people, amidst others) were formed. Each grouping was responsible for planting four churches and was able to make up one's mind the best missionary strategy to achieve the objectives. Soon, this project promoted a missionary groundswell. Many people have chosen to live this type of evangelism, and the project is currently carried out throughout Brazil.47

Regarding evangelistic contacts, on Apr 16, 2011, the "Amigos da Esperança" (Friends of Hope) project took place. Most l,000 non-Adventist invited guests visited 3,320 churches and another 46,000 were invited home to lunch in 23,000 Adventist homes that were willing to share their faith and spend pleasant moments together. The schedule of this special day was prepared months in advance, had multimedia support, and dissemination materials were made available to church members.48

At this missionary pace, the growth of Adventists in NEBUM required structural and administrative changes in early 2011. Sergipe-Alagoas Mission divided into two missions: Alagoas Mission that began operating on January 1st, 2011, following the recommendations of a survey49 and approved past actions 2009-020 and 2010-022 of NEBUM,50 and Sergipe Mission. Likewise in 2011, Bahia Central and North Coast Missions were converted into conferences and the Southwest Bahia Mission was created from the reorganization of the territory of Due south Bahia Conference.51

Other changes were made later a reorganization coming together that took place on November eleven, 2012. At this meeting it was decided that NEBUM would be divided and that a new union would exist established, the East Brazil Union. This new union started operating on Jan 1, 2013, in accord with NEBUM deportment 2010-071 (request for a survey) and 2011-094 (record of the recommendations proposed by the survey). At that time, the states of Bahia and Sergipe became the territory for the E Brazil Union, and the remaining states made upwards NEBUM's territory.

Also in 2013, the Fundamental Pernambuco Mission had its status changed to conference.52 As the authoritative reorganizations occurred, which further enhanced the evangelistic pace, 2014 saw 23,662 new Adventists and in 2015, 25,574 baptisms were celebrated in NEBUM.53

A further reorganization was needed in 2016 when the erstwhile N Declension Conference was renamed to Ceará Conference and had its territory divided with the state of Piauí becoming the territory for the new Piauí Mission.54 That year, the 8 countries of South America celebrated "Small Group Assemblies." There was an emphasis on serving others that revitalized the proposal of small groups and has since attracted new generations to the projection." Due to this, and other evangelistic initiatives, at the cease of 2016, 26,826 baptisms were recorded throughout NEBUM.55

In the midst of this missionary activity, the 4th Pathfinder Camporee of this union took place between November fifteen and 19, 2017, with the championship "INABALÁVEL - practise Poço ao Palácio" (UNSHAKABLE – from The Well to the Palace). The event brought together about 10,000 Pathfinders and leaders in the urban center of Paramirim once more, in the same exhibition park where the previous camporee had taken place.

In 2017, at that place were 22,144 baptisms throughout NEBUM. The following year, 21,968 people were baptized in this region. Totaling the blessings of the concluding 5 years, 120,174 people were baptized and at to the lowest degree 570 new churches were planted in the territory covered by NEBUM.56

In the first quarter of 2019, NEBUM counted seven,776 small groups. Up to this point, well-nigh 80 pct of northeastern Adventists were involved in the process of discipleship by this ways. All this engagement has provided the strengthening of ties between church members, greater interest in the mission and, consequently, the growth in the number of converts that know the Church through Adventist friends.57

Over the years and through the experiences transmitted from one administration to another, the leadership and members of NEBUM, fifty-fifty in view of the success accomplished, have been cognizant of the fact that the Church cannot limit its focus to programs and events. There is a risk of performing the best worship service schedules, but the church building isn't edified, doing many things to just fill a agenda. Members need to be involved in a continuous procedure of discipleship, where people frequently come to the church building to celebrate what they live and do daily for the mission.58

Withal, the biggest challenge facing the field is asset expansion. The costs for the implementation of churches have been very loftier considering existent estate in the northeast region, peculiarly in coastal areas, is extremely expensive, and tin cost up to R$ 4 1000000 (well-nigh US$1 million). The same reality is noted when it comes to buying state for school structure.59 Despite the challenges, a tendency has become noticeable in NEBUM over the years: the stiff involvement of members, including immature people, on evangelistic fronts. An example of this is that there are currently 1,351 Pathfinder Clubs throughout the matrimony, a number that exceeds even the number of churches in the region, which is 1,004 congregations.threescore

In the coming years, the NEBUM administration plans to involve all churches in the field in the process of discipleship through the various evangelistic programs provided for this purpose. Currently, an average of 25,000 baptisms per year has been achieved, among other reasons, by the loftier rate of members (nigh lxxx percent) being actively involved in the Church building's mission. However, with the target of 100 pct fellow member involvement in the mission, NEBUM leadership expects to see 60,000 Bible studies per week and at to the lowest degree thirty,000 baptisms per yr.61
