We come from different local churches united to see the Gospel of Jesus clearly explained through film. Most of us live and work in the greater Natal metropolitan area, in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, where we have a post-production studio near downtown Parnamirim, and an art-production studio and workshop in rural Macaíba. Our International office is located in Sierra Vista, AZ, USA.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ~2 Corinthians 4:7
Because we’re two young adults with four small kids, our interests range from legos, teddy bears and coloring books to intelectual conversations about effective cross cultrual world evangelism!
Loooove to travel, wrestle with the kids, play guitar and sing with friends, walks on the beach, body boarding, reading old missionary biographies together,hiking, riding the motorcycle together, camping, Turbo Cranium!, hide and go seek during thunderstorms Nothing in the universe can compare with the intense fulfillment of knowing God and His deep love. All of our interests, hobbies, or pastimes would be empty without His presence. We consider it our greatest privilege and honor to live our lives to share the Redemption Story with the nations
