A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US…
WE ARE A MISSIONARY COUPLE WHO HAS BEEN LIVING IN TEXAS WORKING WITH MISSIONS TRAINING SCHOOLS AND DISCIPLESHIP FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. RECENTLY WE FELT CALLED TO MOVE TO BRAZIL AND WE NOW LIVE HERE IN A CITY CALLED BELO HORIZONTE! WE HAVE A HEART TO BRING VALUE TO THE OVERLOOKED AND TO DISCIPLE BELIEVERS TO LIVE MISSIONAL LIFESTYLES
OUR MINISTRY
LEANDRO AND FAITH BOTH STARTED OUT IN THEIR MISSIONS JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH WITH A MISSION (YWAM) IN TYLER, TEXAS. FAITH FISRT JOINED YWAM AS A TEENAGER, WITH HER FAMILY IN 2016 AND LATER BECAME A FULL TIME MISSIONARY STAFF MEMBER IN 2019. LEANDRO IS BRAZILIAN AND LIVED HIS WHOLE LIFE THERE UNTIL 2017 WHEN HE DID THE MISSIONARY TRAINING SCHOOLS AND THEM CAME ON STAFF AT YWAM TYLER. WE MET THERE AND BEGAN A FRIENDSHIP THROUGH DOING MINISTRY AND SHORT TERM MISSIONS TRIP TOGETHER, AND EVENTUALLY BEGAN OUR RELATIONSHIP. SOON WE BOTH REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE PARTNER THAT GAD HAD CHOSEN FOR US TO GROW IN LIFE AND MINISTRY, AND TO FOLLOW JESUS TOGETHER. WE WERE MARRIED ON NOVEMBER 21, 2020 AND BEGAN OUR BEAUTIFUL MULTICULTURAL FAMILY!DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE WE CONTINUED AS STAFF WITH YWAM TYLER. OUR MINISTRY WAS FOCUSSED ON DISCIPLING BELIEVERS, AS WELL AS OUTREACHES TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL AND INVITE OTHERS INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS! WE DID THIS THROUGH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS INCLUDING PARTNERING WITH LOCAL CHURCHES, WORKING WITH TRAINING SCHOOLS, AND A MINISTRY CALLED KEEPS WHICH WORKS WITH YOUNG GIRLS IN FOSTER CARE.
WE BELIEVE THAT WE CANNOT BE EFFECTIVE IN MINISTRY IF WE OURSELVES ARE NOT WALKING IN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, OUR CREATOR AND SAVIOR. OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO LIVE A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE AND CLOSENESS WITH GOD, AND FROM THAT ALL OF OUR MINISTRY COMES. SO, AS LEANDRO AND I BOTH PURUED GOD ON OUR OWN AND TOGETHER AS A COUPLE, WE BEGAN TO FEEL THAT A BIG CHANGE WAS COMING. THROUGH MUCH PRAYER AND PROCESSING WITH MENTORS, WE FELT THAT GOD WAS LEADING US TO MOVE TO BRAZIL AS THE NEXT STEP IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR MINISTRY. IN NOVEMBER OF 2021 WE MOVED TO BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL TO BEGIN OUR LIVES THERE AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE. OUR FOCUS IS STILL TO DISCIPLE THOSE WHO ALREADY KNOW JESUS INTO LIVES OF GREATER OBEDIENCE, AND SPECIFICALLY INTO MISSIONAL LIFESTYLES TO OBEY GOD’S COMMAND TO, “GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS” (Mathew 28:19), AS WELL AS REACHING THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW JESUS WITH THE GOSPEL.BOTH OF OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TOTALLY TRANSFORMED BY THE LOVE OF JESUS, AND WE ARE CONTINUALLY BEING RENEWED BY WALKING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. WE WANT TO LIVE LIVES OF OBEDIENCE AND LOVE OF GOD IN EVERYTHING WE DO AND THAT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES AND MINISTRY WOULD REFLECT WHO GOD IS AND GIVE HIM GLORY. WE FEEL CALLED TO DO THIS THROUGH FULL TIME MISSIONS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF OUR JOURNEY AND JOIN OUR SUPPORT TEAM PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING PRAYER PARTNERS, OR MINISTRY PARTNERS BY INVESTING INTO US FINANCIALLY.
