Brazil

About the trip

Once you reach Santarém, we take care of all the details such as transportation, housing, food and trip-planning to free you up to have the best experience possible. We have full-time staff (fellow missionaries) who work with teams all year long and are pros at handling teams from all sorts of locations and backgrounds.

We spend some time in the main city of Santarém, taking in the Amazon culture. We visit our local churches, our missions headquarters and other ministries such as the water-filter project and Mary and Martha. We get to experience the best local restaurants — churrasquerias (all-you-can-eat Brazilian BBQ) — and there is almost always a little time for some Amazonian shopping!

But we also climb aboard one of our PAZ boats* and experience missions out on the rivers of the Amazon Basin, where the need is just as great as the beauty. Armed with a willing attitude, you will help us as we move to advance God’s Kingdom to the ends of the earth!
