AmazonVida Second Annual Fundraiser Banquet

We would be honored to have you attend Amazon Vida’s Annual Banquet to celebrate another year of ministry. This will be an exciting evening of fun with DOVE Award winning comedian Mike G. Williams and our guest speaker Pastor and Amazon Vida director Elmer Lessa.

We can’t wait to update or friends on the work that is going on in the Amazon on mission trips, in our seminaries and the growth of our new churches that have been built in the jungle. We also want to share with you the opportunities that God is allowing for new unreached people to hear the gospel. 

Business Sponsors

We Need You

This event is made possible through underwriting support from community businesses and organizations.

Sponsoring a table at our event is a great way for your business to show that they care about the needs of the unreached people in the Amazon River basin.

We have ambitious plans to expand the ministry but we need your help. 

Whether it be training leaders, putting in water wells, helping start new village businesses, or providing medical/dental care, with your help we can extend the ministry to villages that have not been reached.
