This is the plan: To teach you the background, history and culture of the Amerindians of that area of Brazil and to train you in the unique ways needed to communicate and teach in this context. This is not your Momma’s Sunday School class! We do not want to teach western culture and concepts to a people who have no reference for these concepts but who have a foundation for understanding the gospel. This day of training includes: their background, methods of effective teaching, appropriate cultural practices and sensitivities that are of the utmost importance, and principles for an effective ministry among these key kingdom people.

This is the program: You will participate in training the different levels of leaders among the Amerindians and Brazilians so they can plant hundreds of churches among hundreds of open villages reaping the harvest of thousands of Amerindians in remote villages. This is a first century type of open door and ministry. The Macedonians have called to us and we must answer but the answer cannot be any answer! It must be an answer that is full of proper strategy and proper preparation. This is who we are; this is the right time and the right place.   Join us!
