Indigenous community church in Manaus reports its first baptisms
An International Mission Board prayer update reports that a church serving an urban Indigenous community in Manaus, Brazil, celebrated its first baptisms when seven people were baptized in September.
The October 7 prayer entry says the seven new believers also participated in the Lord's Supper that evening. It records one family member describing the baptism as an answer to three decades of prayer.
The account is a missionary prayer report rather than independently verified local journalism. The public source is a changing prayer feed, so the details are dated here to the October 7, 2026 entry and should not be generalized beyond the named congregation.
