Please be patient as this portion is new and in Progress...or as they say in Portugues, "Ordem e Progresso." In no way do we endorse all of the philosophies that you
will find presented in our resource and links list. This is simply an extended
list of all the resources we have found that deal directly with Brazil. We ask you to use discernment
when reading through these materials.
Brazil for Christ was established to act as a channel of information to churches, donors, and corporations, as to the missionary efforts of Jonathan Mathews, and ministry partners.

We are Andrew and Itacyara Comings, Missionaries with Baptist Mid-Missions to Brazil. We are currently on deputation, raising the funds that will be necessary for us to live and minister on the mission field. We have a three-year-old son, Michael, and currently make our home in Lakeland, Florida.
Our goal is to plant a local church in a major city and begin a Bible institute. We will train men and help them start other churches in Brazil and throughout the world. We will use medical, teaching the English language, and other ministries as tools to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Created in April of 1989, BRAZZIL has been a national respected link between Brazil and all those — Brazilian or not — who feel a kinship with the Brazilian way of life, politics, economy, culture, and soul. Going beyond the report of facts, BRAZZIL brings the whys, the hows and thens.
From the 16th to the 19th centuries, Portugal shipped slaves into South America from Western Africa. Brazil was the largest contributor to slave migration with 42% of all slaves shipped across the Atlantic. The following peoples were the most commonly sold into Brazil: The Sudanese group, composed largely of Yorubaa and Dahomean people, the Islamised Guinea-Sudanese group of Malesian and Hausa people and the Bantu group (among them Kongos, Kimbundas and Kasanjes) from Angola, Congo and Mozambique.
These people brought their cultural traditions and religion with them to the New World. The homogenization of the African people under the oppression of slavery was the catalyst for capoeira. Capoeira was developed by the slaves of Brazil as a way to resist their oppressors, secretly practice their art, transmit their culture, and lift their spirits. Some historians believe that the indigenous peoples of Brazil also played an important role in the development of capoeira.
Support is usually figured on 1USD to 3BRL. If it this goes down, so does our support. Do the math for yourself. If it drops to 2BRL, than a missionary loses 1/3 of their support and so on. Keep in mind too, just because it is a 1:3 ratio, that doe not mean you can triple the amout that a missionary recieves in support. For example: If you took a dell laptop that cost $1000 USD, that exact same laptop would not cost you $333 USD in Brazil. Electronics are expensive in Brazil. You would have to pay $3000 USD for that same laptop if you were to buy it in Brazil. Simple Ecconomics!

The Creation Museum presents a “walk through history.” Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life.
"All of the exhibits are first rate. Although I had seen plenty of photos of what was in the Creation Museum, there is no comparison to actually seeing it first hand."
