The federation's Portugal prayer calendar for November 2–8 gives thanks for church growth and new baptisms, including baptisms in congregations that had not seen one for many years. It also reports support for 20 new church plants.
The update identifies shortages of pastors and other leaders as a constraint. It also says some growing churches need larger spaces while high rents make suitable property difficult to secure.
This is an official federation prayer update rather than an audited statistical report. It provides no national baptism total, attendance series, or independently verified measure of church-plant survival.
