    “And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. When he arrives, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.”

    Our calling is to reach out to those in need. That’s why we identify and connect with those who need support, listening, welcoming, and serving with the love of Christ.

    Through social activities, we create opportunities to build relationships where the love of Jesus can be lived and shared. We demonstrate the true gospel with concrete and transformative actions.

    Disciple

    Mentorship + training + spiritual guidance.

    “Teach them to obey all the commandments I have given you.”

    Discipleship is more than teaching. It is walking alongside those who have decided to follow Jesus, guiding them in faith, strengthening their convictions and helping them to live the Gospel in a practical way.

    This is a form of support that develops skills and raises awareness of rights and duties. A process is essential to ensure that the impact of the actions is lasting.

    We are committed to discipling those who have accepted the challenge of following Christ, teaching them to obey the Word of God, guiding them to baptism and encouraging them to make other disciples with the mission of multiplying this calling in their own realities.

    “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

    It represents the mission of taking the transformation and acquired teachings outside the institution.

    We believe that every empowered individual should become an agent of change in their own community, wherever they are or are sent.

    “Pero recibiréis poder cuando haya venido sobre vosotros el Espíritu Santo; y me seréis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra.”

    Representa la misión de llevar la transformación y las enseñanzas adquiridas más allá de la institución.

    Creemos que cada persona capacitada debe convertirse en un agente de cambio en su propia comunidad, dondequiera que esté o sea enviada.

    Discipular

    Mentoría + entrenamientos + acompañamiento espiritual

    “Enséñenles a obedecer todos los mandamientos que les he dado.”

    Discipular es más que enseñar. Es caminar junto a quienes han decidido seguir a Jesús, guiándolos en la fe, fortaleciendo sus convicciones y ayudándolos a vivir el Evangelio de manera práctica.

    Se trata de un acompañamiento que desarrolla habilidades y genera conciencia sobre derechos y deberes. Un proceso fundamental para asegurar que el impacto de las acciones sea duradero.

    Tenemos el compromiso de discipular a quienes han aceptado el desafío de seguir a Cristo, enseñándoles a obedecer la Palabra de Dios, guiándolos hacia el bautismo y animándolos a hacer nuevos discípulos, multiplicando así este llamado en sus propias realidades.

    Cómo lo hacemos:

    Alcanzar

    Acciones sociales + mapeo + alianzas + comunicación + monitoreo

    “Y cuando la encuentra, la carga alegremente sobre sus hombros y regresa a casa. Al llegar, reúne a sus amigos y vecinos y les dice: ‘Alégrense conmigo; ya encontré mi oveja perdida’”

    Nuestro llamado es ir al encuentro de quienes lo necesitan. Por eso, identificamos y nos conectamos con quienes requieren apoyo, escuchando, acogiendo y sirviendo con el amor de Cristo.

    A través de actividades sociales, creamos oportunidades para construir relaciones donde el amor de Jesús pueda vivirse y compartirse. Demostramos el verdadero evangelio con acciones concretas y transformadoras.

    “Mas recebereis a virtude do Espírito Santo, que há de vir sobre vós; e ser-me-eis testemunhas, tanto em Jerusalém como em toda a Judéia e Samaria, e até aos confins da terra.”

    Representa a missão de levar a transformação e os ensinamentos adquiridos para fora da instituição.

    Acreditamos que cada indivíduo capacitado deve se tornar um agente de mudança em sua própria comunidade, onde estiver ou for enviado.

    Discipular

    Mentoria + treinamentos + acompanhamento espiritual

    “Ensine-os a obedecer a todos os mandamentos que vos dei”.

    Discipular é mais do que ensinar. É caminhar junto com aqueles que decidiram seguir a Jesus, guiando-os na fé, fortalecendo suas convicções e ajudando-os a viver de forma prática o Evangelho.

    Trata-se de um acompanhamento que desenvolve habilidades e a conscientiza sobre direitos e deveres. Um processo é fundamental para garantir que o impacto das ações seja duradouro.

    Temos o compromisso de discipular aqueles que aceitaram o desafio de seguir a Cristo, ensinando-os a obedecer à Palavra de Deus, guiando-os ao batismo e encorajando-os a fazer outros discípulos com a missão de multiplicar esse chamado em suas próprias realidades.

    Como fazemos isso:

    Alcançar

    Ações sociais + mapeamento + parcerias + comunicação + monitoramento

    “E, quando a encontra, coloca-a alegremente nos ombros e vai para casa. Ao chegar, reúne os seus amigos e vizinhos e diz: “Alegrem-se comigo, pois encontrei a minha ovelha perdida”

    Nosso chamado é ir ao encontro de quem precisa. Por isso, nós identificamos e nos conectamos a quem necessita de apoio, ouvindo, acolhendo e servindo com o amor de Cristo.

    Por meio de atividades sociais, criamos oportunidades para construir relacionamentos onde o amor de Jesus pode ser vivido e compartilhado. Demonstramos o verdadeiro evangelho com ações concretas e transformadoras.
