Our Work

Jeremiah currently serves as the Director of the Pastors School at First Baptist Church of Atibaia. By supporting him, you support the pastoral formation work being done there. The program is a three-year Master of Divinity degree given in partnership with Training Leaders International and based within the First Baptist Church of Atibaia, Brazil. This unique program trains men theologically in the context of a full-time pastoral internship in a healthy local church.

The ministry Pregue a Palavra (“Preach the Word”) represents a dedicated team of missionaries and volunteer pastor-trainers who assist pastors to faithfully interpret and preach the Bible expositionally. The course is given without cost to pastors and is centered around 8, three-day intensive workshops over the course of four years. As of today, over 1,600 pastors have already participated in these workshops in Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, Angola, Portugal and Mozambique. Our ministry project seeks to invest in covering much of the cost for the groups Jeremiah is directly involved with as a trainer, both within and outside of Brazil.
