An exciting aspect of "training Brazilians to evangelize Brazil and the world" is to see students serving the Lord in exciting ways. Paulo Cesar came to São Paulo to do a masters degree in New Testament, and has since returned to his ministry as a missionary to the Tucano people in the Amazon region of northern Brazil. The New Testament, with the help of Paulo Cesar, has been translated into the language of the people, and several churches have been planted. He recently helped with the construction of a new church building and the photo to the right above shows a group of believers worshipping there.
His wife, Luciene, is pictured in the photo to the left teaching a Bible lesson to some Tucano children. It is a blessing to see what God is doing through these faithful servants. This kind of ministry by Brazilians to Brazilians is so important because Americans are rarely given permission to enter the country to work among the indigenous peoples.
