Discipler / Mentor for Young Men and Women
Brazil is a country full of youth. In both the local and national church, we are seeing more and more of the youth who come to faith struggle with their faith; we are seeing an widening gap between the stirring desire of the new generation to grow intentionally and live missionally, and the readiness of former generations to guide and support them in their struggle.
Through our commitment to a simple, biblical and transformational church plant in Porto Alegre, and through mentorship of young leaders in our “Missio Dei” program, we are seeking to step into this gap. But, the need for disciplers and mentors to come alongside these youth and encourage their desire for real gospel transformation remains.
As such, the Southern Brazil Team is looking for mature (independent of age!) and passionate believers to join our team. Believers who are energetic and love “relational ministry” (there’s no other kind in Brasil).
The place of ministry will be in the city of Porto Alegre, home to over 3 million people and the least evangelized major city in all of Brazil (with less than 3% born-again believers). You will be joining a dynamic and growing team which is based in the city but also has ministry impact throughout the country.
