THE BEGINNING OF THE ISLAND OF THE RAT In January 2006, in the Island of the Rat a work was started beginning with a vision given by God to four pastors in different places, who were moved by the same desire: to reach souls for Christ. Since then, others became involved in this ministry, always under the Holy Spirit’s direction, Who was the one starting to line up the characteristics of this work. During those days, God spoke of the need of a suffering, abandoned and rejected people that had to be loved and remembered, as they were also HIS people. God said that the work should start with the children, so that, by the knowledge of His Word, the Bible, they would be prepared since their youngest age to be His People. God also spoke that, contrary to the majority of men’s entities, He would not forget this people, popularly known as the Island of the Rat, whose location was also given in the vision. Immediately following, in obedience the Lord’s vision, we founded the Igreja Cristã Evangélica na Ilha do Rato and the apostles Dalila Santa Rosa Galvão de Oliveira and Ary Athayde de Oliveira moved to live in the neighboring city - Pirambú – aiming to give support to the work in the Island. After only a short while, they also established a Igreja Cristã Evangélica também in Pirambú. |
