Our mission is to make disciples, strengthen the Jarawara church, and see the gospel take deep root in their language, culture, and community. We believe that lasting transformation happens when God’s Word is heard and lived out from within a people, not brought from the outside. That’s why our focus is relational and long-term—walking with the Jarawara as they grow in faith, leadership, and love for Jesus.

We spend much of our time investing in three main areas: discipleship, leadership development, and Bible engagement. Small group Bible studies and one-on-one discipleship meetings form the heart of our weekly rhythm. These gatherings often happen in homes or outside under the shade of a tree, where we read Scripture, pray, and discuss how to live out the truth of God’s Word. We’re seeing incredible growth as new believers learn to teach and encourage others.

Another central focus is Scripture access. The New Testament has already been translated into Jarawara, and in partnership with YWAM Porto Velho and Celeiro Missions, we helped record the books of Genesis and Daniel in audio form. The moment we played those recordings for the first time was unforgettable—people smiled, laughed, and cried as they heard the story of God in their own language. We’re now praying toward expanding the audio translation to include the rest of the Old Testament.

Leadership development is another pillar of the work. We regularly mentor believers like Kaike, a young Jarawara leader who now preaches, teaches, and helps guide his local church. It’s our prayer that a new generation of indigenous believers will continue carrying the gospel into surrounding villages. As that happens, our role shifts more and more toward encouragement and support, allowing the local church to lead the way.

We also participate in community helps—practical expressions of the gospel that meet real needs. These range from maintaining the village’s airstrip for mission flights, to building and repairing homes, to providing family care kits in times of need. Each project opens new doors for discipleship, conversation, and prayer.

Ultimately, our vision is to see the Jarawara church thrive—anchored in Scripture, led by its own people, and multiplying disciples who share the hope of Jesus across the Amazon. Every lesson taught, every verse translated, and every friendship built moves us one step closer to that vision.
