It is with solemn rejoicing that the General Authority Council invites this Church of Christ to participate in the sacred Passover Sacrament gathering and General Conference in Palhoça, Brazil. Let the faithful rejoice together with the heavens in anticipation of the spiritual strengthening, directions, and enlightenment that is held in the hand of the Lord at this sublime moment in the history of the Second Invitation as was provided in the gathering of Saints as recorded in D&C 88:1-2
Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you who have assembled yourselves together to receive his will concerning you: Behold, this is pleasing unto your Lord, and the angels rejoice over you; the alms of your prayers have come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, and are recorded in the book of the names of the sanctified, even them of the celestial world.
- Passover Sacrament observance on the evening of April 6, 2025, in accordance with the law given by Moses, witnessed by the Jerusalem Apostles, and Joseph Smith for all dispensations and times.
Regardless of where they were, they would all be one in the knowledge and subservience to the covenants made by Jehovah with the nation of Israel, from before they left Egypt, when all shared the Passover, fourteen days after the first new moon appeared in the heavens … prefiguring then, that the Israelite nation, by observing the commandments given by me, Moses, would prefigure the “Church of the Lamb of God” in all dispensations. – For how much this one paschal day, to be observed strictly fourteen days after the first new moon of the first month Abib1, is to be kept in perpetuity among the people of the covenant, because it represents the liberation of his people from the slavery of Egypt (Sealed Moses 16:2; Exodus 12:2,6; 13:3-4).
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently, being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever (1 Peter 1:19-23).
- General Conference has been directed in the revelation given through the Prophet Mauricio Artur Berger on April 14, 2024, the eighth day following the 2024 Passover sacrament. This revelation provides specific instructions to the General Authority Quorum, detailing building the ark of safety in the refuge cities designated by the revelations delivered through June 22, 2024. This revelatory word calls for our General Conference to commence on July 4, 2025. It is with this solemn rejoicing that we invite the members who can come and meet with the Presidencies of the United Order, Church of Christ, Bishopric and Fountain of the Living Waters Society with the Panels of the Apostles Quorum in Zion and Apostles of the Executive Quorum.
The word of God revealed on April 14, 2024, that the Lord has reserved for us of the Second Invitation “the beginning of the refuges of Zion and a model for all others that will emerge later. And from there your voice will be heard, as a voice of a lion in the middle of the forest, which cannot be seen, but its roar can be heard, in order to convene a general conference, where I intend to invest those who listen to you with power from on high.”
It is with this hope in our hearts and souls that the General Authorities invite you to share these sacred events together in full unity of heart, might, mind, and strength in spiritual preparation in fasting and prayer, or rejoicing in prayer.
