Florinda Serafin

National Missionary in Brazil serving in Church Planting ministry.

At the age of nine, Florinda was given by her family to a cloistered convent to become a nun.  She was quite satisfied as she thought she would get really close to God and get to know Him personally.

However, as the years passed, she became more and more disillusioned.  Yes, she was being educated, but she was also treated as a servant.  Eventually, Florinda was able to escape against the will of the convent by going through the back door of the kitchen.

Shortly after her escape, Florinda began to visit every church in the city until she could find peace with God.  In response to Herman Effa's invitation, Florinda went forward and Ardath Effa had the joy of leading her to the Lord.

CHAIN of Love - Administration

Lyndell Campbell

Lyndell and Paulo will be on home assignment from Dec.2011 to Mar.2012.
 
Lyndell Dawn Campbell and Paulo André Réquia were united in marriage at Central Baptist Church (in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil) on Saturday, November 27, 2010. Pray that that God would use them as a couple for His glory.
 
Lyndell explains about her name change: "For now my name will remain the same in the northern hemisphere until I can get there to see about making official changes, but as for in the future, it will be Lyndell Dawn Campbell Réquia.  The actual pronunciation in Portuguese is 'heckya' with emphasis on the first syllable.  I guess in english it would be 'wreckya' with the emphasis on the first syllable again.  Hope that helps!"

Family History

Jerilyn says, "Growing up in Brazil was the best thing for me.  As a family, we always served together.  We would go on evangelistic meetings, sing together, share and Dad would preach.  Whenever an altar call was given, we would all counsel -- my mom counseled the women; my dad, the men; my brother, the boys; and I would counsel the girls.  These special meetings warmed my heart and I knew I wanted to lead people to Christ as long as I lived." The Bayers were appointed to Brazil in 1983, and they are involved in directing Chain of Love: Children Abandoned and In Need of Love Homes.
