Fabiana Araujo’s backgrounds as a musician and architect have shaped her approach to ministry. Once the teenager from Itararé, São Paulo, who reluctantly prayed to have an interest in God or the church, Fabiana and her husband have spent the last twenty years ministering throughout their home country of Brazil. They are now in the United States, in Atlanta, Georgia, where she serves as a resident of the 1001 new worshiping communities movement. Her clarity and insights – not only about ministry, but about life in general – have been a gift to those of us who know her.
In this episode, part two of our conversation, we discuss the lovely surprise of welcome from a sister congregation toward an organizing new church; how being an architect has trained Fabiana to see ministry as a series of projects; and the hidden rule of Brazilian hospitality.
