The Vineyard Missions conference was vibrant, with informative sessions, gifted speakers, ministry times, and meals. The meals and breaks were especially important. Everyone has stories, and God is on the move in our homes and around the world.

Deanna and I had a 10-minute slot to discuss the Vineyard in Brazil. I shared a few statistics while Deanna brought the stories showcasing how God is moving among us.

Brazil Update

Milton, the leader in Brazil, sent me these 2024 statistics. There are now 49 churches with ordained pastors, 12 more in the process of church planting, and around 50 rural churches and pioneer communities.

On the chart, “Região Norte” indicates the churches that grew from the work in the Xingu in the 1990s. The Vineyard in Brazil started as a church-planting mission work with us in Northern Brazil and as a renewal movement with Milton and others in Southern Brazil.

Thank You

The list of churches indicates a growing number of individuals who have moved from hopelessness to hope, from brokenness to a healing path, from aimlessness to purposeful and joyful lives. Each person is a whole story.

We are grateful for your prayers and support. The chart above indicates the fruit we see now. The best part is these churches will continue to bear fruit for generations.
