“HAGGAI INSTITUTE
CHANGED
EVERYTHING.”
Inar Brandão, operational pastor
at Central Baptist Church in Belo
Horizonte, Brazil, transformed
his approach to evangelism after
attending Haggai Institute.
Mrs. Linda Cozart
SERVING
WITH AN ACE
He says, “The way I communicate the
Gospel has changed on a level that I
cannot express properly. I know I am
a better evangelist. In my ministry,
my professional life, Haggai Institute
changed everything.”
Donor Linda Cozart says of Haggai Institute,
“It helps me to feel a small part of the many ministries
around the world where our alumni are involved.”
She makes a monthly contribution to help train more
leaders, continuing a commitment she and her husband,
Doug, began many years ago.
Not many know that Linda won the Triple Crown title in
Hong Kong, and that as a young woman, she was on her
way to becoming a professional tennis player.
“And then,” she says, “I became a Christ-follower and
went overseas as a missionary.”
It was in Hong Kong that she met her husband-to-be,
Doug Cozart, who left his position at World Vision in 1978
to play a globetrotting role, overseeing Haggai Institute’s
growing network of international leaders.
Doug served God through Haggai Institute for 23 years.
Linda’s support for the ministry has withstood the test of
time.
“Haggai Institute,” she says, “is one of the most efficient
ways to spread the Gospel through all the nations, since
the people who live there know the languages and
understand the cultures in a way that Westerners
never can.”
Inar Brandão
During training, Inar committed to
share the Gospel with 300 people.
Instead, over the following year, he
witnessed to 600 family members
and friends. Now he has set a goal for
every member of his church to reach
one other person in the next year and
for the number of cell groups to grow
from 30 to 250 by the year 2016.
He says, “In my way of thinking,
everyone should attend Haggai
Institute training because it will
change the way you relate to your
family, other churches, and nations.”
