NOT JUST A MISSION TRIP
At Amazon Vida our core tasks include evangelism, discipleship, leadership training and church planting. We are not content until all of them have happened in the communities that we serve.
We know that Biblical discipleship only happens in the context of a local church and since most of the communities in the Amazon region do not have a church we are working to make that happen.
Making Disciples
Your team plants, waters and they may also be blessed to see a harvest that needs to be cared for after you are gone. That’s where our pastors and staff come in.
They are the boots on the ground that return to stay connected to the people that you worked with to continue the process that your trip initiated.
How We See Impact:
Spiritual Growth: New believers baptized and churches planted across remote villages.
Leadership Development: Six regional training centers equipping indigenous pastors and teachers.
Community Renewal: Clean-water systems, medical outreaches, and education initiatives meeting real needs.

Developing Leaders
We have six leadership training centers that reach the villages on the river including six Indian tribes. With indigenous church leaders and staff from Brazil, Peru, and Columbia we are able to train local leaders that are able to reach their villages without the difficulty of being accepted or learning the language.
The three year program walks participants through training in theology, community development and vocational training. Leaders are discipled, equipped, encouraged, and provided materials with which to evangelize and disciple new Christians.
Transforming Communities
Spiritual Change:
Through changed individual lives we achieve healthy churches and changed communities. The multiplication process causes the gospel to spread efficiently.
As the community of believers continues to grow, we help finance a church building which we encourage them to build with our help.
Physical Change:
Communities are also changed by meeting their physical needs through our clean water solutions, community development and through medical and dental assistance.
Your gift makes a difference!
The Multiplication Effect
When you invest in one leader, you're investing in:
The churches they'll plant
The disciples they'll make
The leaders they'll train
The villages they'll reach
The tribes who'll hear the gospel for the first time
One leader trained today can become 10 churches planted tomorrow.
When local leaders are equipped to shepherd their own communities, transformation doesn't end when we leave, it multiplies for generations.
