The religious situation in Brazil
• Roman Catholicism is the
dominant religion in Brazil
but it is often mixed with
spiritism.
• Protestantism has grown
rapidly in Brazil in recent
decades while Roman
Catholicism has declined.
• Pray for the work of
Editora Fiel in the
provision of pastors’
conferences.
• Pray for the greater
usefulness and wider
distribution of good
Christian literature in
Portugese.

attending the services with his daughter.
'Surely the wrath of man shall praise you!’
