The more I travel and study Brazil, the more I am convinced of the need to strategically invest into the unreached areas. The easy parts of Brazil have already been reached. The rich areas of Brazil are in revival. But the difficult, poor, forgotten parts of Brazil are still unevangelized, unreached and neglected. We took data from the last census in Brazil and identified all the cities with populations listed as being under 3% Christian. The number of cities in this category was over 600. We then decided to focus on the priority cites. These were cities of over 10,000 in population. The result was 153 municipalities. These are the cities where we need your help. Unfortunately, many of the cities are so remote and forgotten that simply planting a church and forgetting about the pastor will not turn these cities around. There must be a greater investment and an ongoing push. These cities need churches, economic development, events to shake the city, along with oversight and encouragement to the new pastors. For a gift of $10,000, a city can be changed. The gift includes:

One year of support for the pastor - $1,800
Training for the pastor in a Bible School (2 ½ Years)- $2,200
Three day crusade to turn the whole city upside down - $4,000
Travel and oversight for encouragement for the pastor-$2,000
A Village/City Turned to Jesus - Priceless
Thousands saved - Priceless
A step closer to discipling nations- Priceless

I know this is a big gift but big investments produce big returns. Please pray with us about this. Our goal is to raise funds for 30 of these cities over the next 12 months. Over the next several years we will also be raising finances to purchase a small single engine Cessna 210 capable of flying into these cities and landing on small rural and private air strips, as well as, purchasing a location for the GAP in Rio. The cost of each of these is approximately $200,000 each.
