Mauro and Marilda have worked with the church in Curitiba for over 20 years. Mauro is now helping to coordinate Harvest Brazil, a strategic church-planting initiative aimed at establishing local congregations across all major capital cities in Brazil through partnerships between Brazilian and American churches. Operating on a co-funding model, local financial support raised within Brazil is matched by U.S. partners, while mature, well-established Brazilian churches take the lead in assembling and supervising mission teams composed of native Brazilians. By leveraging local leadership, strategic oversight, and shared financial stewardship, the initiative builds long-term, self-sustaining church plants tailored to the unique cultural contexts of Brazil’s urban centers.

Taylor Cave has been working with the South Walker Congregation in developing a strategy to reach “second generation” Hispanics. Like many urban congregations, as time has passed the makeup of the neighborhood has changed, attendance has declined, and the remaining members were left searching for a new vision. The Caves are working together to reach the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood that surrounds their building. Please pray for the Caves and this work during a time of transition, as the Bautistas have left for a new work.
