God has placed a desire and a vision in our hearts to join Him in reaching Brazilians for Christ that are living in Sao Paulo (18 million people), the surrounding ABC area (2.5 million people, including the cities of Santo Andre, Sao Bernardo, Sao Caetano, Diadema, Maua',...), and in other parts of the State of Sao Paulo. The vision includes working with churches to share the Good News of Christ in schools, health centers, hospitals, prisons, houses... We also preach the Good News in churches, and train pastors & church leaders & members to share Christ with others by leading People Sharing Jesus seminars. In 2006 we sold our small business & our house & cars & ... and in October 2006 we moved to Sao Caetano Brazil to join God in His work. God is doing great things in the Sao Paulo area, saving tens of thousands of people, for His glory and for His name. It is a great privilege and joy to join God in what He is doing.
* We praise God for what He is doing in this part of Brazil:
