I’ve always felt deeply connected to my Portuguese and Brazilian roots. It was only while attending Summer Beach Project in 2017, however, that my eyes were opened to the immediate need for the Gospel to go forth internationally. I felt a specific calling to labor for those with whom I share a culture. God granted me that opportunity through two-month Cross Cultural Projects to Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 2018 and 2019, followed by a two-year experience to teach English from 2021-2022. I have extended that commitment for another year (until December 2023) to continue the work that the Lord is doing in me and through me and would love for you to be a part of that!
