Josh & Lisa Sears

We have been Serving with the Assemblies of God World Missions since 2007. We first were Missionary Associates in El Salvador for 4 years for the ministry Castillo del Rey in a variety of roles. Later, we served the entire region of Latin America Caribbean though missions advocacy, recruitment, new missionary training and mentorship. Though we were stateside for a time, we have never lost that call to full time overseas service. So in 2019 we started the process and were approved to go full appointment to the north of Brazil.

As the first full-time AG missionaries living in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, we will be pioneering ministry efforts and establishing a ministry leadership team to the meet the multifaceted needs of the Amazon. Our goal is to provide new, previously unreached believers with a strong biblical foundation and ministry training, coupled with practical life skills, so that they can in turn carry the gospel to others in surrounding areas.

Focusing our efforts in the port city of Manaus, we will use the children’s evangelism and discipleship tools and strategies learned in El Salvador to establish ministry centers in the favelas of the city and in the floating communities that dot the banks of the Amazon tributaries.
