Hope in the Dry Season: God’s Work in the Amazon Continues
Changing Season & Growing Challenges
As the Amazon enters the dry season, daily life adjusts to lower river levels and intense heat. At the same time, economic hardship in the region has led to increased crime and social struggles. In this context, the ministry continues to rely on faithful partnership and prayer to carry forward the work of the Gospel.
Seminary & Leadership Development
The seminary remains central to the mission:
Students continued their studies even during break through remote assignments and Scripture memorization
A new semester is underway with 12 students studying theology, discipleship, and core doctrines
Additional programs include leadership seminars, pastoral ordinations, and training events
This reflects a strong emphasis on both theological education and spiritual formation of future leaders.
Mission Teams & Church Ministry
Partnership with global churches remains vital:
Multiple mission teams visited from the U.S., providing teaching, medical care, children’s ministry, and outreach
Several churches were dedicated in Amazon villages, celebrating the growth of local congregations
Ongoing and future mission trips continue to strengthen collaboration and expand ministry reach
Local believers play an active role in building and sustaining these churches, demonstrating growing ownership of the mission.
Farm Ministry & Sustainability
The agricultural ministry is producing tangible impact:
Fish farming generated measurable income after a successful harvest
Pork and poultry production are supporting both ministry funding and local livelihoods
New agricultural investments (such as açaí cultivation) are being developed for long-term sustainability
These efforts help fund the seminary while creating jobs and strengthening the community.
Vision & Prayer
Looking ahead, we hope to continue to pursue our long-term vision of raising leaders, planting churches, and achieving sustainability, while requesting prayer for:
Effective training of students and leaders
Growth of local churches
Expansion of new church construction projects
Long-term leadership succession for the seminary
