LOCATION: Brazil & Canada
OUR TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT: Our vision is to see local churches in both Brazil and Canada become kingdom agents of transformation for the gospel.
OUR MINISTRY FOCUS: We have raised up a team of what we call “Kingdomizers” in Brazil. This team of over 50 young people, from local churches, are dedicated kingdom agents seeking to transform the spheres of society for Christ.
Moreover, we’ve had more than 1,000 young adults complete our “Kingdomizers” training program to reach their communities all throughout Brazil. We’re now working to bring a similar movement to here in Canada.
Additionally, we partner with ten churches and organizations throughout Brazil that help children and families in impoverished communities.
I (Nelson) am also the regional coordinator of the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA) for the Portuguese region that includes mainly Brazil but also other Portuguese-speaking countries. My goal is to equip local churches through online courses, seminars, books, and conferences, to develop a sound biblical worldview.
YOUR PARTNERSHIP: You can help raise up the next generation of passionate Christian leaders in both Brazil and Canada while helping to lift children and their families out of poverty in Brazil.
OUR MINISTRY HISTORY: As a child, I (Nelson) accepted Christ through mission efforts in Brazil. I then worked as a civil engineer before being sent as a church planter, in 1989, to the Portuguese community in Canada. I then met Lisa, and we were married in 1992. We then ministered in Canada for 15 years. During that time, I graduated from Regent College with a Master of Divinity degree. In 2004, we returned to Brazil as PAOC global workers, working there for many years. Presently, we are now Canada-based, travelling a few times per year to Brazil. We have three wonderful children: Gabriella, Luc, and Daniel.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
For God to draw more young adults to Himself to become kingdom agents for His glory and help us to reach more families in impoverished communities for Him.
For God to help us develop stronger and lasting relationships with more churches and individuals passionate about reaching Brazil and Canada for Christ.
For God to continue to ground us in His Word as we seek to set an example to all in our daily lives and give us strength to minister day to day.
