Bishop Vitor Silva has been responsible for the evangelistic work in the country since January of this year Meetings are held in the country’s three official languages: French Out of all the foreign communities in Switzerland the Portuguese speaking community is considered the largest there are six churches that are opened daily in the country and one that opens twice a week in the following cities: Geneva – Thônex has meetings in French and Portuguese (this is where our new headquarters is located) Geneva (center) has meetings in French and Portuguese (former headquarters) Zurich – has meetings in German and Portuguese Lausanne – has meetings in French and Portuguese Lugano – in Italian and Portuguese and Basel – in Portuguese 
The new church began holding daily meetings as of the 15th of September 2010 and is located in Geneva 
The main difficulty that the UCKG has encountered in performing its work in the country has been in regards to the evangelization because it’s forbidden to advertise or hand out religious pamphlets in the street but all this has been overcome through faith
