In Brazil, the world's fifth-largest country, Friendly Counselor Nathan Wagenknecht, member of our Latin America Traveling Theological Educators (LATTE) is working with the Igreja Luterana Brasileira (ILB) to maintain their current ministry and provide training for future church leaders at local and national levels. This young Brazilian Church is served by two national pastors and a national vicar as well as by an evangelist and future seminary students. They are committed to faithfully applying God’s Means of Grace in the cities of Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul), Gravataí (Rio Grande do Sul) and Presidente Prudente (São Paulo). Missionary Charlie Flunker continues to reside in Brazil after his retirement, serving the ILB as a volunteer. Learn more about the Brazil mission on the missions blog.
