Eron Ramos is the senior pastor of the Evangelical Missionary. Together with his wife Ivoneide began ministry as a calling from God for their lives in 1992. Today they have churches and congregations in the states of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais. This man of faith and courage inspires us with his missionary vision. In this interview he gave us presents a brief account of his ministry and talks about the Missionary Conference I sent you to reap that will be this March and will include the participation of Pastor José Bernardo da AMME evangelize as speaker.
AMME - Between 27 and 28/03 to Evangelical Missionary Church will hold its annual Missionary Conference at its headquarters in Sao Jose dos Campos. What is the purpose of this AEI event this year 2010?
Pr-Eronildo be an event aimed to arouse the members of our churches to engage fully with missions, evangelism not only with sporadic, but that each member of our church be a missionary wherever you are. Witnessed something related to this on my trip to Africa in January, where Muslims from Mauritania and Morocco are established as traders and spread while Islam. We still think of Brazilian churches that missionaries are only those who are commissioned by churches and sent to far away. As the pastor Augustus Nicodemus: "It is the soul of the evangelical Catholic Brazilians." We have been converted and we think the mission is only for the clergy and not for the laity. This is what I have been trying to change in people's heads.
AMME - "To promote the awakening of the whole church to obey the call of
Jesus for integral mission "was his statement about what they expect
happen with members of the EMI post-conference. As senior pastor of the denomination that say about the name of evangelization today?
Pr-Eronildo We are still living decades de70 and 80 where the pastor calls and out in front leading people to do evangelism. If it is not, people do not go out and mobilize, with some rare exceptions leave. We are deploying in the church I pastor's philosophy of small groups in homes and has proven effective. There have been decisions. We develop training for leaders of small groups as well as for the residents of the host homes.
AMME - You have a missionary vision for church planting. That participation AMME Evangelizing has played in achieving this vision?
Pr-Eronildo I think has been very significant, particularly in the area of training. We received help from AMME in previous years training with the book of Hope and churches could begin using this material. But with the coming of Pastor Jose Bernardo for this congress, I believe there will be a strong partnership between our pastors and their churches. I am very confident that our history as a name change in terms of mission.
AMME - His leadership has been present at the Advanced School of Evangelism we have in Sao Jose dos Campos in the base's mission OM - Operation Mobilization. What this has meant participation in order to change practices in the area of evangelism and missions in your ministry?
Pr-Eronildo In practical terms this has been changing, for those who are doing the advanced course at school has been mobilized to infect others for evangelization, creating projects to achieve not only the areas around our community and surrounding neighborhoods. I hope this year after Congress have a lot of people doing the Advanced School of Evangelization.
AMME - Christians from other churches and ministries in the region of Sao Jose dos Campos can participate? What costs are involved? How can apply?
Pr Eronildo-Yes, Christians of other denominations who wish can attend the lectures. Are welcome. There will be no costs, only suggest you take a love offering. The registration information are on our page www.iem.org.br / portal. To conclude, I believe the congress will be a blessing and that will completely change the view of the participants regarding our mission to evangelize the world. I prayed that there be a revival in this sense.
