Ministry & Outreach
Changing Lives One Person At a Time with the Gospel
We are blessed to serve at Calvary Chapel Belem alongside some extraordinary believers who desire to win their city for Jesus. As your missionaries in Brazil ministering in the community of Belem, these areas of the ministry have developed as God moved our hearts to serve a particular group.
Join the Missionary Work on the Field
Each ministry offers an opportunity for you to join with us in sharing the Gospel in Brazil. Through prayer, donation, and mission trips, you can partner with us to bring the love of Jesus to this area of the world.
Proverbs 24:11 Ministry
Ministering to Those Caught in Human Trafficking
A ministry aimed at helping those involved in the dark industries of human trafficking and prostitution, we go to the streets of Belem every week, where these people are working. We make contact, and we share the love of Christ. We start building relationships with these people with the ultimate goal of sharing the Gospel. As people hear the message, get saved, and then desire to get out of human trafficking and prostitution, we, as a church, are there to help them.
Coffee Shop Ministry
Using Coffee and the Gospel to Change Lives in Belem, Brazil
At Calvary Chapel Belem, our church building is located directly across the street from a major university, bringing a large amount of foot traffic in front of our building throughout the week. With a high concentration of students, faculty, and businesses, there couldn't be a more incredible opportunity to minister the Gospel to our city through a tasty cup of coffee.
Church in the Park
Called to Be Among the People
Church in the Park is an effective and vibrant outreach right in the middle of a bustling marketplace, bringing the Gospel to those who regularly come to the market every week. God has called us to be in the world among the people, and this ministry brings a church service and evangelism to the people in their routine schedule. Instead of searching for someone to share with, we go to them in the park and preach.
Refugee Ministry
Creating Relationships for the Sake of the Gospel
The Refugee ministry is an outreach to the Warao, a displaced indigenous tribe from Venezuela, who fled when their government fell. Today, there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of Warao refugees living in our city. They are beautiful people that are not acquainted with the church or how to pray. We are committed to making the mission and love of God understandable by creating relationships with them while helping them adapt to their life as refugees in a city that is not their own.
How to Support Missionaries in Brazil
God is moving powerfully around the world and in our community, and we are humbled to be a part. As we proclaim the Good News in our weekly outreaches and personal connections, God is working and drawing people to Himself. If the Lord has stirred your heart to help these people of Brazil, we would love for you and your church to join our missionary team. There are multiple ways to support the work here. The Lord can use you remotely through prayer and financial support or here on the ground serving alongside us.
Prayer
Would you please join us through prayer? Although much of the ministry is fun, and the people are a delight, there is also deep spiritual darkness, which can be challenging for our team. If you are at home and unable to go on a trip, we invite you to pray and intercede for the work, our missionaries, and our team. Join our prayer team and email list today!
Service
One of the ways your church can help is through short term mission trips. We invite you to consider giving of your time and resources through volunteer opportunities at our church. We are always looking for volunteers who will work alongside us as we minister to others. Whether short term mission trips or longer, we welcome boots on the ground to help us reach the community of Belem, Brazil.
Financial Support
We invite you to support the missionary work of Calvary Chapel Belem by financially supporting the ministries and outreaches of Calvary Belem. You can be part of the mission through one-time or monthly contributions that can help the church fulfill the Great Commission.

Read About Our Missions Update
Hello all! Thank you to those who have been supporting us financially, prayerfully, and those who have been encouraging us. We want to keep you up to date about how the Lord is working through us in 2023.
After 8 years in the mission field of Belem, Para, Brazil the Lord has called us to move on to our next adventure in Christ. It is a funny thing being a missionary, you really learn that your home is not here in this world, but in heaven. At times it has been the hardest thing to give up ‘home’. We have had to do it when we left everything the first time when we left CO for our first mission adventure on the sailboat, then onto northern Brazil, and here we are again packing up for the next deployment in missions.
