Brazil Gospel Fellowship Mission 2020 Vision Statement

Our purpose is to reach Brazil for Christ.

To accomplish this vision, we will concentrate on expanding our church multiplying movement into strategic fields throughout Brazil with the intent of forming additional teams to be sent around the world.

We are committed to using multi-national ministry teams for indigenous church planting, leadership training and support ministries in all our fields.

In each field we will train Brazilian leaders to plant churches and develop support ministries for churches being planted with the ultimate goal of establishing indigenous works that will:

• Develop leaders from within the local church
• Generate finances from within the local church
• Plant new churches by means of the local church
• Train and send missionaries from the local church
• Equip leaders to produce sound Biblical materials for the local church

To accomplish this vision, we commit ourselves to the following by 2020:

• Begin to expand the work in northeast Brazil from Maceio to include Recife, Aracaju, and Salvador
• Further develop the work in south Brazil from greater Porto Alegre to include Caxias do Sul and Criciuma
• Launch work in southeast Brazil, targeting Belo Horizonte, Vitoria, and Rio de Janeiro
• Begin to target additional population centers in northeast Brazil including Teresina, Parnaiba and Sao Luiz, as well as Belem in north Brazil

We desire to instill this vision in all of our church plants and support ministries. As each church and support ministry grows toward maturity with competent national leadership generating adequate finances, we desire to utilize personnel, financial support and ministry resources from existing churches to expand into the targets above as well as additional targets yet to be surveyed and identified as priority.

Our desire is to be directed by God alone for the glory of God alone.
