Brazil
On October 2024, the What is a Man? team completed an extraordinary expedition to Brazil, a journey marked by profound reflections, impactful gatherings, and the spread of God’s truth about manhood. This mission, long anticipated and bathed in prayer, was made possible through the leadership and support of Pastor Odimar Reis and his wife, Elisama, from Amigo Íntimo Church in Goiania.
The journey began with an 8-hour flight from Miami to São Paulo, followed by a layover and another 2-hour flight to Goiania. Upon arrival, the team was welcomed warmly by Pastor Odimar and the men of Amigo Íntimo Church. Their reception included men wearing black shirts emblazoned with “O que é um Homem?” and boxes of books containing the first Portuguese edition of What is a Man?.
A Message That Resonates
The Friday night opening session introduced the powerful message of What is a Man? to the leadership and men of Brazil. The attendees were challenged to envision a new identity for their nation—not as one known solely for soccer, carnival, or jiu-jitsu, but as a country defined by the godly character of its men. The message deeply impacted all in attendance, inspiring many to embrace a higher calling in their personal and spiritual lives.
Saturday’s Sessions and Wider Impact
Saturday morning featured a breakfast session with pastors and community leaders, further establishing connections and extending the message’s reach. That evening, the main event saw men traveling from all over Brazil, including one church group that drove over 10 hours to participate. The enthusiasm and hunger for God’s truth were palpable, and many doors opened for future opportunities to share the message of Christlike manhood.
Sunday and Beyond
The weekend concluded with a general assembly at Amigo Íntimo Church, where men, women, and children gathered to hear the message. The event emphasized the importance of fostering Christlike character across generations.
Brazil, the world’s 5th largest country and 7th most populous has become fertile ground for the expansion of this mission. This trip, years in the making, was the result of prayers and the faithfulness of leaders like Pastor Odimar Reis, whose dedication to the men of Brazil has been pivotal.
A Call to Action
The impact of this expedition extends beyond this one trip. As invitations pour in from churches across Brazil, the opportunity to spread the message of What is a Man? grows. Join in prayer and support for the ongoing work of transforming lives through Christlike manhood.
