Description

In a culture full of post-modern spirituality, where students are seeking a higher meaning to life, there is a great need for bold witnesses to lovingly point them to the One True God. Our team’s vision is to work with local Brazilian churches to make Christ known on university campuses in Rio de Janeiro. Many of the students on these campuses have never heard the full gospel. Our team uses conversational English clubs to serve the local students and to seek out people who are interested in being disciples of Christ Jesus. Team members can also use their own gifts, skills, and interests for greater kingdom purposes.

Other Requirements

Residency – An opportunity to serve on mission for one or two semesters while being mentored by an IMB field missionary. Active members of Southern Baptist churches receive a subsidy, which includes travel to/from Orientation/Debrief at ILC, room and board at Orientation/Debrief, travel to/from the field and emergency insurance. There is no subsidy for applicants who are not members of a Southern Baptist Church. All monies raised or donated in excess of the stated cost of this particular Residency trip will be used to offset the additional, subsidized field cost expenditure for the student. These monies may also be used to supplement the broader cost of ministry related to the Residency program, in general. Application deadlines: Fall Residency trips: deadline to apply is May 1. Spring Residency trips: deadline to apply is October 1.
