Believers in Brazil have been growing rapidly in the last few years. The churches hold bazaars, camp-outs, picnics, barbeques, kids' festivals, and various other activities where believers and non-believers alike can get together, discuss experiences, and enjoy life.
They hold the various activities as follows.

Translation project:

A translation team holds meetings regularly to translate materials from Japanese to create propagation materials in Portuguese.

Human resource development project:

A minister in charge of human resources goes to each church every few months and holds a faith enrichment workshop with young believers and minister's children. Also, an annual believer's conference is held on the day before the Spring Grand Service at the Konko Church of Birigui. A female ministers' meeting is also held annually.
To enrich native believers, the Association sends several Brazilian believers to Headquarters for faith study and training.
