Who we are

Servants, nothing more

A Brazilian, interdenominational mission that exists to help those on the front line: workers and churches in hard places.

Why “A Fim de Proclamar”?

The name comes from 1 Peter 2:9

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

The mission’s purpose is to bring new hope to Cuba, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry and Colombia, through the willingness of people who decide to go, pray and give.

We are not members of any one congregation. We are Brazilians, Cubans and Africans, united by the color of the Blood of Jesus and by the desire to do our part in the great work. We leave the task of recording numbers, statistics, amounts spent and works done to the competent angels, and we rejoice to see lives transformed, villages and cities overtaken by the love of Jesus.

What we do, in practice

The main purpose of our trips is not necessarily to preach. It is to help those who preach and serve needy populations at evangelism posts: to bring supplies, instruments, Bibles, medicine and hospital materials, and to encourage those in the field.

The teams are made up of believers from many parts of Brazil (Curitiba, Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere) who pay their own expenses. Some take part in a single trip; many repeat the experience. Each person comes back with a new vision, a transformed life and a passion for the work.

A large part of the work cannot be made public, for safety reasons: help for the persecuted church in countries without religious freedom must be anonymous and discreet.

How we work

Embrace, encourage and work

  1. Go

    People who are willing to go and help brothers and sisters in other nations for the name of Jesus.

    Going to the field
  2. Pray

    No distance or prison can keep His will from being done. But we need to keep praying and interceding.

    How to pray
  3. Give

    Because the needs are enormous in countries that have no infrastructure at all, not even for survival.

    How to contribute

Get to know our story

It all began when a pastor from Porto Alegre was called on to interpret the words of a brother who had spent more than twenty years in prison for his faith.
