What happens when the love of Jesus meets the surfing community of Portugal? In this inspiring short film - Surf Church: Beyond the Coast — discover how God used Surf Church Porto, founded in 2015 by Troy and Michelle Pitney, to reach surfers right where they are: on the sand, in the sea, and in the heart. You’ll meet Pastor Samuel Cianelli, a Brazilian missionary who felt called to “serve through water,” and see how a small gathering of believers with sandy feet became a vibrant family of faith. “We do what we love for the One we love.” Watch the full story here:

Around 50 million Brazilians identify as evangelicals. Brazilian Christianity is a powerful force and a blessing to the world. Its Church has sent out many missionaries who have revitalized Christian work in many places. Be One Together has 5 Brazilians serving with us. Texas is home to 2 of them and Portugal is home for the other 3. We also have ministry taking place in Brazil as well. Pray for them and their desire to see people come to know Christ personally and put him first.

Europe - stretching from Ireland to parts of Russia, from Greenland to Greece - is seeing the long twilight of traditional Christianity. Most of the peoples of Europe were baptized by 1000AD and have had a Christian background ever since. Europe’s nominal Christians are similar to soccer supporters who follow their team but never go to a match. They treat Christianity as a public utility, something you only call on in times of need. But now, even this nominal Christian identity is fading fast. In the Czech Republic, for example, over 70% of people now say they are ‘non-religious.’ Pray for Be One Together missionaries in Germany and Portugal
