Brazil

We have been in Brazil since 1957, and all ministries are now overseen by Brazilian ministers and lay leaders. Although we do not have missionaries on the field, there is a vibrant church-planting ministry in São Paulo state because of a CMF-led partnership of Brazilian and American churches. The goal of planting 5 churches in 7 years (2003-2009) through the partnership between Brazilian churches planted by CMF, partner churches in the US, and CMF has been met!  The churches are:  Pedreira, Paulinia, Piracicaba, Americana, and Koinonia. These churches are growing with lots of excitement for the future!

To ensure maximum growth in numbers and depth, each church begins through the cell church strategy. CMF’s objective is for Brazilians to establish strong, self-sufficient, and reproducing Christian communities.
