Communicating God's love across cultures

All those who give their service to the Lord through this ministry have the wonderful privilege of participating in the action of the uniting power of the Holy Spirit. This ministry serves as a bridge that spans our different cultures to bring us to the common ground that is at foot of the cross. It allows us to share the same fundamental truths of the word of God and sit together at feet of the same Teacher and Savior that is Jesus Christ.

The goal of this ministry is to allow Jesus's life changing, soul-searching words to touch the hearts of those who seek his presence. By bridging the gap of language we are able to experience how our different cultures (Brazilian, American, Portuguese, Spanish, etc.) can enrich our walk in the presence of our Lord. This becomes especially important to the next generations (our children) of our church by vividly demonstrating that our cultures can be cultivated to bring us greater growth as children of God and that much can be learned from each culture that is a part of our heritage if we base it all on the firm foundation of faith in the words of our Lord Jesus.
