About My Family
I grew up in Curitiba in southern Brazil and have a degree in theology from the Baptist Seminary of Paraná and a degree in psychology from Positivo University.
Carol and I have been married for 13 years and have two boys, Benjamin and Benicio. We love missions and have worked together on the Projeto Vida and the Second Baptist Church of Almirante Tamandaré (Brazil) for more than 15 years.
I have a passion to shepherd, lead small groups and share the gospel in Portuguese and English.

About My Church Plant
In the USA, “the other side of the world” can be our neighbor who speaks another language and has a different culture who does not yet know Christ as Lord and Savior. Many Brazilians and Portuguese-speakers come to study and work in the New River Valley (NRV) area, Virginia Tech, Radford University and companies are examples of receiving students, professors, researchers and family members from Brazil.
We are an international and multicultural church. We believe God has called us to reach Portuguese-speaking immigrants and North Americans in the NRV area. We are called to be a church that gathers and scatters. We gather in large group worship and small groups, and we do so with purpose. We gather in environments that cultivate a growing relationship with Jesus through prayer, Bible study, encouragement, love, service and accountability.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
