Brazil

Brazil

World Renewal Brazil is a church planting ministry that works hand in hand with local Bible-believing churches through a three-phase process:  

  1. Evangelize & Disciple 
  2. Educate & Equip 
  3. Generate & Reinvest 

 Led by Tele Moraes, the goal is to plant 200 churches in Northeast Brazil. Since beginning in 1993, they have partnered with/ planted 30+ churches. Their mission is to fulfill the Great Commission hand in hand with local Bible-believing churches.   

 Through effective strategies and various ministries, we continue to sow into Brazil through Church Planting, their Living Stones Program, their International School, their Seminary, and their Glory Sports program.

Ukraine – Centers of Hope  

As the Ukraine/Russia war rages on, the world continues to focus on the physical humanitarian needs of Ukraine.  Although this is natural, normal, and even proper, the time has come to focus on renewing their lives and circumstances and giving the spiritual a new priority.  

 We believe inner renewal will come through Jesus Christ. It is our desire to start 100 ‘distribution centers’ called CENTERS of HOPE for long-term help.  

  • Providing trauma counseling and prayers  
  • Help for men & fathers, especially those who have been fighting  
  • Grief counseling for those with deceased relatives and neighbors  
  • Opportunities to help others  
  • Sports activities for the renewal of the youth  
  • Bible Studies & Worship experience 
  • Pamphlets, materials with information and resources  
  • Continued humanitarian aide 

Pastors and Church Leaders will staff each center. It will focus on a large number of non-churched people to meet their deep internal trauma needs while helping them rebuild their lives and homes from nothing. Over the next 3 – 4 years, a well-functioning church of new believers would be established to continue indefinitely, with a focus on meeting community needs.

10-40 Window (Africa)  

World Renewal ministry to the 10-40 Window. The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. It is often called “The Resistant Belt” and includes the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.   

  In desert nomadic cultures, anything of value comes on a camel’s back. The North Highway, currently under construction, will dramatically change nomadic civilization over the next five years. Our North Highway strategy will aid the northern half of the nation as it adjusts to these changes.  

 Through our dedicated team of missionaries, we train leaders and build communities in some of the world’s most hostile regions. We work in creative ways where others can’t. We focus particularly on training people in local languages and cultures where few people can read or write.   

Our Ministry specializes in accompanying leaders as they help locals while passing on the responsibility of evangelism and discipleship to sustain healthy church growth.
