Walking
Depression:
On the surface, you
look fine. You keep
working, going to school,
looking after your family,
but you are doing it all
while profoundly unhappy.
When you think of depression, you
automatically think of somebody crying
all day and barricading himself in his
room. However, there is another type of
depression – just as common – but often
missed. It’s called walking depression. This
is when somebody lives with depression on
the inside, while appearing perfectly happy
and content on the outside. More on pages 6&7
I would go out drinking
to fill the emptiness I felt.
When I drank, I was 'happy'
and everyone thought that
I had a good life... However,
nobody knew that I was selfharming.
My depression
was hidden. I felt an
immense peace when I
came to this ministry
and today, I am
happily married and
complete. – Lenai

The Altar
and the Priest
J
ust as the Altar represents God Almighty,
the priest represents the servant of the
Most High. The high priest in the Tabernacle
and, later, in the Temple, symbolized the
Chief Servant:
Jesus Christ. The Messiah
came to serve God the Father and those who
would come to follow Him.
Now, if the Son of God was a Servant
until death, bearing the curse of sin of all
humanity, and because of this, He had to
learn obedience(serve) by the things He
suffered(Hebrews 5.8), imagine the quality of
service that God the Father expects from His
servants!
God the Son served as an example or reference
of Servant for all His disciples. Therefore, no
one can have an excuse for not knowing how
to serve God the Father.
And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it,
and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body
which is given for you; do this in remembrance
of Me.” Likewise He also took the cup after
supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant
in My blood, which is shed for you.
Luke 22.19-20
When the Lord broke the bread and gave it to
the disciples, He served them; the same way,
when He gave them the cup, He also served
them. This means: He did not serve only with
words, but with sacrificial acts.
The same should happen with His true
followers. Otherwise, there
will
be
no
relationship between these “supposed
servants” and the LORD. This is why He also
said:
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will (serve) of My Father in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in Your name, cast
out demons in Your name, and done many
wonders in Your name?’ And then I will
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart
from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Matthew 7.21-23
struggled with a number of things
throughout my life from depression and
suicidal thoughts to broken relationships and
debts. I also experienced spiritual problems
and went through moments of having low
self-esteem. I had no confidence in myself,
I lacked trust in others, and I was addicted
to: smoking, drinking alcohol, and spending
money I didn’t have, which eventually led me
to a financial crisis. I was broken and had no
sense of direction.
I sought help from doctors, who prescribed
me antidepressants, and I also went
for
counselling. At the Universal Church,
however, things were different because I felt
a difference from the first time I received a
prayer. At these meetings, I was guided not
to accept the negative things in my life as
normal and pray believing that God was able
to remove the obstacles from my life. I did
exactly that and, consequently, things started
to get better.
For a while, my faith was weak, as I had worries
and fears that held me back. Although my life
was a never-ending turbulent rollercoaster, I
learned that all I needed was solid faith in God
to get me through it. It wasn’t until I decided
to fully surrender my entire life to God that
my faith became stronger and I started the
journey towards true transformation.
It took a lot of perseverance but this combined
with my faith paid off. Today, I am no longer
downcast, addicted, or suffering from any
spiritual problems. I also no longer drink,
smoke or overspend and I am completely free
and happy’.

a chance: “If it’s true, you will not
be arrested.” When we got to her
door, she opened, cursing on and
on. The policeman asked, “Is this
guy your son?” “I have no idea
who he is; I do not want him on
my sidewalk,” she responded.
That day I began to hate her
and promised that I would
come back to kill the whole
M
y mother had an extramarital
affair and became pregnant.
That’s how I was born. Viewed as a
problem, she decided to get rid of me
and so, from an early age, I had to live
on the streets. The night on the streets
was scary. The only alternative was to
join a group of beggars. The scenery
was always the same: dirt, spoiled food
killing the hunger of many, addictions,
quarrel over anything, strong and
unpleasant smell.
But worse than picking up strangers,
was to suffer in the hands of family. I
remember once an uncle caught me
selling popsicles on the street, he took
me to the factory so that I could return
them. The store owner gave me back
a very small amount for the returned
popsicles. With the money, my uncle
bought a belt, a shaver and a bottle
of alcohol and gave me a beating.
After what I suffered at the hands of
my uncle, in revolt, I decided to give
in to the life of crime. I started to live
like a dog falling, lost, totally without
direction. As I was still very young,
some people would offer me shelter,
sometimes within days, I’d find myself
stealing valuable things from their
homes and would return back to the
streets: My dark home.
I lived like an animal. I did not go hungry
because I took food out of the trash. I
began to practice firearm assaults and I
participated in kidnapping. The gun in
my hand showed me courage, but deep
down I lived in fear.
On one occasion, when I was going to
be taken away again by police officers, I
swore I had a mother and that I was not
out on my own. So the police gave me
family: her husband and my
brothers. Hatred overwhelmed
me, and I felt to be the most
insignificant person in the
world. When I returned to the
streets, I was able to get a revolver and
26 bullets. I was determined to take
revenge on everyone. It was then that,
unexpectedly, an uncle appeared to
offer me help. “I’m going to take you
to a place where you will be a person
again,” he said.
How can someone, accustomed to
being treated like a beast, become a
person again? But even astonished
by the offer, I went with him. What a
surprise! For the first time in my life,
I received affection and attention.
After attending a meeting, I was soon
attended to. No one cared about how I
smelled and my appearance. They said
that I could change the course of things.
That was all I wanted and needed to
hear. I left there determined to fight for
a transformation. Nothing happened
overnight, nor will I say that everything
was easy. I had to work hard, as I still
do. But this only worked because I gave
myself to the living faith that had been
awakened in me.
Shortly afterwards, I met Eliane, to her
family, our union was synonymously
shameful: a beggar who’s an alcoholic.
What would our future be? But the
“impossible to succeed” did not
influence us, and our story came as a
surprise.
You must be wondering who I am
today. I am a respected businessman,
who provides employment for dozens
of families. I have a home, a marriage
of great joy, I am a father. I’m a winner.
Not just for financial stability, but for
the peace, joy and dignity that I have
won.
Cláudio Soares
What is better:
talent or attitude?
W
hy are there people who
stand out more than
others? Even in the shows of
amazing talents, some stand
out more than others, even
when dealing with the same
talent we seek to qualify the
best fighter in the world, the
best singer, the best chef...
The Bible mentions that
even in the stars there is
that difference. Why is this
disparity among human
beings? Can not we have the
same brightness? Yes, we
can, that is the will of God.
However, it also depends on
each one of us. One person
may be more talented than the
other, however, what is the use
of talent if there is no attitude?
He who has no talent, but an
attitude, can shine much more.
To develop your talent and
take that attitude, Jadson
Edington, author of 50 Secrets
to Success book, advises: "Get
out of your comfort zone, use
your free time to think about
strategies to earn money and
put them into practice. If the
first idea does not work, go to
the second. If this also fails, go
to the third. The only thing
you can not do is to give up. "
At the Strong Nation
meetings, you will learn to
discover, develop and take
the attitude to excel in
your financial life. Do not
miss it! Mondays at every
Universal Church.

Women in Action Group provides assistance
to cancer patients in Zambia
T
he Women in Action group
in Zambia (a country in
southern Africa) has done valuable
social work. The actions are next
to the cancer patients in the largest
complex
of
treatment
of
the
disease in the country: the Hospital
Universitário de Formação (UTH,
in the acronym in English). Located
in the capital Lusaka, the place
houses more than 300 patients
among children, men and women.
The volunteers in the group work
to help those who need help the
most. For 3 years, they have been
providing social, psychological,
material support (through
donations of clothing, food,
medicines and hygiene
supplies)
and, above all, spiritual support.
They also assist family providers
with skills needed to help them
generate income.

moment of life.
"Most patients arrive
without
knowledge about the disease and
treatment. We helped clear the
doubts at this difficult time. And
above all, we bring comfort through
faith
and
Loveness Banda says.
The volunteers are with these
patients weekly. And, as a result,
they have seen how much it makes
a difference in their lives.
"Not just while in the hospital, but
even after they are
discharged,
as we continue to follow up. In
addition to supporting adult
patients, we also have practical and
recreational activities with children.
The exercise of faith has helped
them even more to alleviate pain
and endure the difficult process of
treatment,” said the volunteer.
Group of women of faith
Since its foundation in 2009 in
South Africa, idealized by Márcia
Pires, wife of Bishop Marcelo
Pires, Women in Action (a group
formed by pastors’ wives) has
carried out several projects. Just to
illustrate, some of them are meant
to raise awareness about abuse of
women and children and about the
rising incidence of cancer in the
population.
During weekly actions at the
hospital, as well as donations,
words of faith, support and
encouragement are also offered.
In addition to further clarification
"Volunteering the group is very
important and rewarding. When
we visit patients and offer the
support and attention
they so
badly need, we see how much they
encourage themselves to continue
fighting, with greater confidence. In
addition to treatment counseling,
social, emotional and psychological
support, we always carry a word of
faith and a prayer that frees and
heals," said volunteer Mhlophe
Nkambule.

of pain and doubts about how to
overcome their problems and their
infirmities. Likewise, it was also
stressed the need to project by faith
in God and His Word a future of
success and victory.
In Zambia, the group is coordinated
by Adriana Costa, wife of Bishop
Gilson Costa, responsible for
evangelistic work in the country.
Recently, Women in Action
received the collaboration of the
IntelliMen group, coordinated by
Bishop Gilson. Thus, they have
collected donations of food baskets
with food supplement,
material, among other items.
Subsequently, everything was
delivered to patients in the men's
hospital ward, where
there
currently 60 hospitalizations.
In addition, on this day, a special
prayer was made by Bishop Gilson.
At the time, a message of faith and
awareness was sent to patients.
After all, they were in a moment
"For me as much as for my wife
the role of Women in Action has
been of great importance. Many
did not even know that they could
overcome a serious illness through
the manifestation of their own faith.
The work has been recognized by
the general management of the
hospital. Group support has helped
patients and their caregivers to
better understand the process of
treatment and recovery of both and
in every way. We show them how
important it is to remain faithful to
treatment along with faith. Which
leads to hope and encouragement
to engage in his healing. With this,
we have seen the external and
inner change in their lives," said
the Bishop.

The Universal Church has been
present in Zambia since 1995.
Today there are 5 churches across
the country and approximately
1,500 members. Women in Action

A child reacts to your
depression.
There are many stressors that trigger parenthood, but what about the
children? A child can react to your depression. Have you ever found
yourself saying "oh, this child is the cause of my distress!". According to
an article in PsychCentral on Depressed parents, parents often feel that
their children's behavior is the source of their distress, but in reality, the
children are just reacting to the parent's depression.
Parents who are going through any stage of depression may ignore or even
neglect their surrounding, including their children. Present yet far from
their children.
A parents discouragement can provoke a nonappearance in a child's life.
The child will grow without the nurturing, supervision not to mention care
they deserve. As a result, the children may act out, find themselves being
expelled from school in their preteen years or even become runaways.
Most of the time the parents don't realize that they are the ones who are
depressed and the child or preteen is basically provoking them so they can
place rules in their life and pay attention to them.
My name is Jevonte, I've been dealing with depression since I was a
child. I had many problems due to being bullied. One time, my brother
went to jail, and everybody blamed me because I was trying to be a good
person and return an object that was in a robbery. Although it didn't have
anything to do with my brother, being the only male in the house, he went
to jail. Everybody blamed me for that and I wanted to die. Every time I
went to court, I was blamed by everyone. Due to the blame, I wanted to
relieve myself in any way possible. I had multiple relationships, I would
smoke marijuana and drink. As I grew older, I was deeply depressed, I
didn’t want to be bothered, sometimes for months. I would lock myself in
my room and I would wait on others. During the period of depression, I
already had children, I was deeply depressed. I would make my children
watch tv because I didn’t want to be bothered and everything around me
I came to the point that I wanted to kill
myself. I would think to myself, "If I
would just get it over with, I wouldn't
have this problem anymore".
I wanted to get it over it.
became cluttered. My kids saw and they thought it was okay to have all the
clutter in their room as well. When I saw this, I knew something had to
change. I thought that if I just die, I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.
For many years I was back and fouth with many doctors and medications.
The medications were not fixing the problem, they were just covering it
up for a moment. I finally gave God a chance. When I walked into the
Universal Church I was taught how to deal with my problems. I started to
see a lot and felt a weight off my shoulders. I kept coming and fighting and
my depression was lifted. When I felt free, it was an amazing feeling. I no
longer let my problems get to me. I was free of depression until this day.
In the face of such a troubled and unhappy world, people are
increasingly seeking spiritual peace, but they do not know how to find
it. That is because there is a bombardment of "miracle solutions",
which, many times, ruin more and more the life of the person. That
is why we are presenting the reading of this book as a simple way
to solve this problem so serious, you will find guidance and a deep
study of the Holy Spirit and, with practice, you will really know the
peace that only needs to spring within you, because it already exists
within it; only that it has not yet been awakened.This book is perfect
for everyone to understand the transformation that will take place

People Who suffer
with walking
depression, also
known as smiling
d ep r essio n
and
hidden
depression often
go unnoticed.
That’s because
are
their
feelings
unseen. Underneath
the mask they are
suffering
from
sadness, panic
attacks, low selfesteem,
insomnia,
and,
in some cases,
suicidal thoughts.
Here are some
symptoms of those
who are suffering
with this type of
depression.
1.Nothing is fun.
You root
around for
something to look forward
to and come up empty.
2.You avoid social
situations. You're
likely to avoid
social
situations, as it can be
exhausting putting on a
happy face. You may find
yourself canceling plans,
just wanting to be alone
a lot, and withdrawing
from those you love and
care for.
3.Your energy
is low. You often
experience fatigue and
exhaustion,
which
sometimes can co-occur
with insomnia.
4.You
notice
a
significant mood
change when you
have caffeine or
alcohol. A cup of
coffee might make you
feel a lot more revved-up
and optimistic. A glass
of wine might make you
feel really mellow.
5.You use other
things to escape.
This could be drinking
more alcohol,
zoning
out in front of the TV,
playing a video game, or
even changing your eating
habits.
6.You feel worse
in the morning
and
better
weight of all the things
you have to do that day.
In the evening you are
temporarily free from
expectations
enjoy a moment’s respite.
4.Your
self-talk
gets caustic. You
say nasty things in an
effort to shock yourself
into action. You use
shame as a motivator.

B
Inside the mind of a
depressed person – part 1
A true account from somebody who battled depression
"At first I didn't know
it was depression.
All I knew was that
I hated myself –
I hated the way I
looked and I would
spend hours on end
just thinking about
what the 'perfect life'
looked like.
I begun forcing myself
to vomit up all the food I
ate, just to punish myself
and would spend more
and more
time
alone,
lying down on my bed,
wishing I was one of
my cooler friends who
seemed to have
together.
it all
What was wrong with
me? Why was I feeling
so sad and empty? My
mom died when I was
young and so assumed
that I was still grieving
her loss.
I didn't know I had
depression, nobody
talked about it in those
days. I tried to pull
myself together, I tried
to shake off the sadness,
but it seemed to follow
me wherever I went.
They have started to
notice something wrong
with me at work. They
say that I go out of my
way to please
others,
often neglecting my
own needs. They have
sent me on a self-esteem
building course, little
do they know that the
problem is much greater
than low self-esteem.
I spend my lunch
hour in the restroom –
hiding out from all the
well-wishers who keep
inviting me to lunch.
I take the long route
home, it's an extra hour,
but there are less people
along the way."
Can you relate to
this? Do you

See
below for a solution.
There is a cure to depression. You can be
healed from all those internal wounds, but you
need to start searching for their cure.
An internal sickness requires an internal treatment. In
other words: If you want inner peace, you have to win the
inner war.

efore, my life
was totally
destroyed! I
suffered a lot with
depression and
did
not have the strength
to do anything in my
own home, not even
to take care of my
family.
I was a very anxious
person and very panicky,
so I took lots of medicine
to help me sleep. I spent
a lot of time in the
psychiatrist’s office and I
had not slept properly for
two months until I was
eventually hospitalized. I
attempted suicide several
times and my family
suffered a lot because of
all this – the arguments we
had were
very first experience was
a positive one. After that
very first visit, I started
to sleep. I felt light and
happy!
The more I practiced
what
I
learned in the
church, the more changes
that took place within me;
for my anxiety began to
disappear.
I learned to fight for
my deliverance, I was
sleeping well and the
depression and thoughts
of suicide disappeared.
Today, I am free from the
thoughts
of
and of ending my own
life. Now I'm happy I
have peace in my house
and my family is united.

Our mission is to reach people that need a helping hand in time of distress
and to those in need of spiritual guidance and restoration. With your

bless many people who don’t have conditions to attend a meeting nearby.
Whether they cannot leave their home, are hospitalized or imprisoned.
“
When my first marriage broke
down, I became depressed.
I became alcoholic and I got
involved in all kinds of addictions.
This got me into a lot of trouble. I
ended up owing people $55,000 and
I couldn’t find a way out of that.
That’s how I came to this ministry.
I got an immediate help. They told
me what to do and how to use my
faith. I was ready to do anything. I
attended the meetings and sowed
my seed. Today I don’t have any
addictions. I have a business and
I’m financially stable. Most of all I
have peace.
Jimmy
