Though its name means “Joyful Harbor” in Portuguese, the city of Porto Alegre is home to one of Brazil’s many favelas. According to a 2010 census, roughly 6 percent of Brazilians today live in a favela. Favelas are run by gangs who are very protective of who comes in and out of their place. In Capão da Canoa, we were able to go in with permissions of the Favela leaders and minister to the children. We brought them food and toys and shared the gospel!

Partenon, Brazil
In November of 2016 I began working on planting a church in one of the darkest areas in all of Brazil. Partenon, Brazil is known for Umbanda which is an Afro religion. Umbanda mixes the catholic faith and voodoo. The people are in such poverty and so desperate that they are willing to sell their souls for the promise of prosperity. We planted a church here to be the light and to be Christ in that community!

Guarani Tribes
The Timothy Center Mission Base (Foz do Iguacu) is our ministry hub where missionaries and leaders are trained and sent to build bridges of hope to unreached tribes in the amazon. These tribes are extremely vulnerable in that they lack the basic needs for survival. The Timothy Center identifies these needs and provides necessary supplies such as food, water, clothing, literature and other resources to gain trust with the Tribal leaders. This gives access to the community.
After distributions we are given the opportunity to share WHY we have come. Our answer is ALWAYS the hope of Jesus. He is our motivation and our message.
We are working with indigenous tribes of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. We currently have reached 27 tribes representing 3,240 Indigenous Indians. 25 tribes are asking for assistance, which represents another 3,000 that are unreached.
Over the years there have been more than 8000 water baptisms. In 2020 there were over 600 water baptisms alone. Below is a picture of the first witch doctor baptized!
