Our partnership with the Celebration Church Planting Network is helping Pastor Joe and his team train pastors and plant Brazilian churches in the U.S. and in Brazil.
We are privileged to be able to serve Pastor Joe Souza and his God-given call to reach first and second-generation Brazilians–and the nations–through church planting in Boston, in Florida and in Brazil. Pastor Joe has connected us to multiple church plants in the U.S. and key ministries in Rio.
Great Commission Partnerships is working:
- to lead short-term mission teams to serve and equip pastors and churches in Rio de Janeiro, in the U.S. and beyond
- to assist Pastor Joe and the Celebration Church Planting Network with partnerships, training, and mobilization throughout Brazil
- to lead short-term mission teams to serve Voando Alto, a ministry to kids from low-income families in Saquarema
These are God-sized initiatives that require our long-term commitment for God-sized results. Will you join us! Please think about praying, giving, going and even moving to Brazil to be a part of God’s movement there.
