The amazing fact is that men are going into the jungle to plant churches with no outside help whatsoever. They gather people at preaching points, build congregations, put up wooden churches and plant numerous congregations in the surrounding areas travelling mainly by foot or boat and, where there are roads, by bicycle.
In agreement with the church in Manaus, our project has the policy to sponsor a worker to pioneer in a specific area with a view to the work becoming self-supporting within 3 years.
Each worker will have his situation reviewed every 3 years by the Manaus Convention of Assemblies of God. We realise that the conditions are such in jungle situations that this will not be easy to achieve, but this is our aim.
It is also our desire to resource the worker and his work whenever we can.
Each worker receives $80 a month from the Brazil Project.
Many of our workers have achieved these aims by becoming self-supporting within 2 years having planted many congregations!
As a result of the wonderful giving of God’s people, without any request for money being made, we have been able to release another 15 workers – making a total of 90.
