Our Mission

Our ministry has a two-fold purpose. First, to win lost souls to Christ. Second, to train and disciple those who are saved to serve God. Here are some of the tools we use to fulfil this mission.

Winning Souls and Discipleship

We are fulfilling the great commission through door-to-door soul-winning, leading Brazilians to Christ. We disciple them and do our best to fulfil the scripture, “teaching them to observe all things”

Church Planting

We have planted two Brazilian Churches and have helped three other church planters as well. The last church, Primiera Igreja Batista de Parque Bristol, is now pastored by a Brazilian national.

Training Nationals

Rebekah Johnson is in the process of developing a homeschool curriculum that the Brazilian Church can use for their members or even start a christian school.

We have developed an all inclusive Sunday School Curriculum for the churches. With this a church can teach the same material to every age group from nursery through adult so a family can learn and grow through the Word of God together.

Radio Ministry

We are excited to launch an online radio ministry. The population of the greater São Paulo region is over 24 million people. With an online radio ministry we will be able to reach far beyond this number into the entire Portuguese speaking world. Jeff has been instrumental in helping us acquire programming material for the radio broadcasts.

Publishing Ministry

We have been actively translating God-centered books for the Brazilian people. We also work to provide a single location for trustworthy materials to provide help to churches across Brazil. With this ministry we have been able to help churches all over the country edify and train their members. Jeff has been a huge asset in this ministry outreach. He is essential in translation work and with book cover design.

Camp and Conference Outreach

We have been privileged to preach in many conferences and camps. We have preached up north to the isolated people of the Amazon region as well as in the souther region of Brazil. David will be instrumental in expanding our camp and conference outreach.

About the Team

Bryan and Rebekah Johnson are Independent Baptist Missionaries in Brazil. They went to the mission field of Brazil in 2005 where they have faithfully served our Lord Jesus Christ. They are currently at their third church plant. They have reared their three boys, Jeff, David, and Lee for the service of our Lord.

David and Lily arrived in Brazil July of 2023 while Jeff and Rebecka are on deputation raising the funds needed to go to Brazil as well. Lee and Liz are serving with Youth for Christ in Indiana.

Current support levels

All of us should be involved in the Great Commission. Not all christians should go to the foreign field, but all should pray for and give to those who do! Part of the call of a missionary on deputation is to challenge the church to pray more, give more, and challenge some to surrender to go to the mission field. This is all a part of the ministry of deputation.
