Overview

Mission

Statement of Program Service Accomplishments The organizations main goal is to spread the Gospel to the unreached in Brazil. Funds were raised through monthly newsletters sent to individuals and churches interested in supporting Equipping to Serve Brazil Inc. These funds were used to support national pastors their families and missionaries in their mission to preach the Gospel in Brazil.

What it reported doing in 2025

Equipping to Serve Brazil advanced its mission to preach the Gospel by resourcing pastors missionaries and churches across Brazil. With support from faithful partners we provided benevolence for those in need medical and funeral assistance and ongoing support for missionary housing travel and ministry expenses. We strengthened local congregations through gifts donations and construction projects while also investing in childrens and indigenous ministries and outreach in remote regions like Roraima. Training and teaching seminars helped equip leaders and resources such as office equipment and professional dues sustained missionaries in their calling. Each gift given was used to care for ministers encourage churches and expand the reach of the Gospel ensuring lives are touched by Christ throughout Brazil.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
