Dear Hello,
After more than two decades of serving in the Amazon Basin, we find ourselves facing a very difficult moment in our ministry journey.
Our sending church, Vineyard Columbus, which has faithfully partnered with us for many years, has had to make significant reductions to our monthly support due to its own financial challenges. The initial proposal informed us that our support would be reduced by 76% or $3,676.38 per month starting in March 2026.
We remain deeply grateful for their years of generosity and love. They have truly been family to us in every way. The church is exploring ways to mitigate the traumatic loss of funds, but ultimately, they need to make cuts.
This change puts us in a severe financial crisis. To sustain our ministry and family here in the Amazon Basin, we now need to raise $ 3,676.38 per month. Without this additional support, our future in Brazil — and the work God is doing through us here — is at risk.
For 23 years, we’ve witnessed God’s transforming power in the Amazon Basin:
● New churches planted and communities reached along the rivers and in the cities
● Local leaders trained and equipped to shepherd their people
● Families and villages experiencing the tangible love of Jesus
(You can see a summary of this impact in the attached report prepared by former Executive Pastor Craig Heselton.)
We have always trusted God to provide — and He has, time and again, often before we could even voice our needs. This time, we sense His invitation to share the need openly and invite others to stand with us in faith.
Would you prayerfully consider joining our monthly support team or making a one-time gift to help bridge this gap?
Your partnership makes it possible for us to:
· Train and equip local leaders.
· Plant and strengthen Vineyard churches.
· Bring the love of Jesus to remote and underserved communities across the Amazon.
Every gift — large or small — makes a real difference.
The news has shaken us because raising this much money in such a short time frame seems impossible. But we remember. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Please keep us in your prayers.
Much love, Steve, Elba, Camilly, and Alyssa
