Brazil Mission Trip Support Opportunities

Brazil Mission Trip Wish List
This August, a team from First Reformed Church will travel to Manaus, Brazil, where we will partner with an indigenous missionary serving among the Hixkaryana tribe. Together, we will travel by boat along the Amazon River, build relationships, encourage local believers, and share the hope of the Gospel in remote communities.

As we prepare for the trip, we have the opportunity to bring items that can be used to bless indigenous families and support ministry efforts while we are there. We invite our church family to partner with us through donations and prayer.

Ways You Can Help
1) Purchase Items from Our Amazon Wish List: Many of the needed items can be purchased through our Amazon Wish List and shipped directly to the church. This makes it easy for our team to collect, organize, and pack supplies before departure.

2) Purchase Mission Balls: Mission Balls are a simple but effective ministry tool that help create opportunities to connect with children and families. Choose the Portuguese language when purchasing.

3) Create Handmade Items: Volunteers are invited to knit or crochet potholders and other simple handmade items that can be shared as gifts with families we meet along the way. Contact Sara Van Zee if you are interested in creating handmade items.

4) Give Financially: Financial gifts help cover ministry supplies, transportation of materials, and other outreach opportunities connected to the trip. Designate your gift “Brazil Mission Trip Fund.”
