New DS Elected for Cabo Verde South District

Rev Gastão Correia was elected as the new District Superintendent at the 5th Distrito Sul de Cabo Verde Assembly on 19 July 2025.  Rev Correia has more than 25 years of ministry experience in the Church of the Nazarene, and he has served as Dean of the Seminário Nazareno de Cabo Verde and as a Pastor at the Church of the Nazarene in Achada de Santo António – Praia. The newly elected District Superintendent intends to focus on the Nazarene youth (NYI). 

“Young people bring dynamism to the church, and we have valuable young people. We count on them to continue doing God’s work. All we want is to make a difference in Cape Verde. We want the Cape Verdean people to know that they have a God who is powerful and that by putting God first, things will improve,” said Rev Correia. 

Rev Correia succeeds Rev David Araújo who has faithfully served the Lord and the country of Cabo Verde as the District Superintendent for the last 28 years. We want to say thank you to Rev Araújo for his many years of service.

This election marks a new stage in the growth of the Distrito Sul de Cabo Verde. Join us in praying for this new District Superintendent.
