Founded in January 2012, Pais:Brasil is our first adventure into South America. A nation of opposites that sit side-by-side with each other, Brasil combines gorgeous packed beaches and the dark mysterious wilderness of the amazon jungle.

It has one of the world’s fastest growing economies and yet the very rich live next to the extreme poverty of the infamous ‘favelas’. It is deeply religious with a high catholic population and yet street crime is out of hand in many of its cities. Best known for its famously colorful carnival, Brasil is home to some of the most colorful people of the world!

Pais already had open doors into the schools of Brazil. Its variety presents the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone into an unknown world.

If you join Pais:Brasil, you will learn youth ministry in both a European style school in the morning and a South American slum in the afternoon. In this religious nation, many young people are starved for a vibrant relationship with Jesus.

The great News? They are open and when they grab hold of something then nothing matches their passion for the Kingdom!
