We\u2019re Joe and Erin, serving in\u00a0Brazil<\/strong>,\u00a0 \u2014 right in the heart of the Amazon. After several years supporting a missionary boarding school (PQQ), we\u2019ve transitioned to a new phase of ministry while continuing our passion: supporting Bible translation and church planting in some of the most unreached areas of the world.<\/p>\n Our mission is simple: help make it possible for the gospel to be shared where it\u2019s never been heard.<\/p>\n Joe serves in a multifaceted role that keeps missionaries equipped and operational in some of the most remote tribal locations in the Amazon. He:<\/p>\n He works on the field\u2019s solar power department<\/strong>, where he designs, orders, supports installs, and maintains off-grid solar systems for missionaries living deep in the jungle. These systems provide the essential electricity needed for Bible translation, discipleship, and daily living in areas without reliable infrastructure. Joe provides ongoing remote support<\/strong> via email and video calls for system builds, upgrades, and repairs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In addition, Joe runs the field\u2019s graphics department<\/strong>, producing printed materials that support Bible teaching, church planting, and missionary training. This includes visual aids, discipleship tools, lesson materials, and outreach resources \u2014 all designed to help communicate God\u2019s Word clearly and effectively.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n From fixing solar inverters and designing off-grid systems, Joe\u2019s background in construction, maintenance, tech, and leadership has proven to be a perfect match for the mission field. It\u2019s clear that God has uniquely prepared him for this work.<\/p>\n Erin continues to serve by caring for the physical of missionaries, and their families. With a background in natural and functional medicine<\/strong>, she offers practical support to those serving in some of the most remote and demanding areas of Brazil.<\/p>\n Erin provides FBCA (Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis) lab assessments<\/strong>, helping individuals identify root causes of health challenges and create personalized wellness plans \u2014 especially important for missionaries who may not have regular access to healthcare.<\/p>\n She also works with families of autistic and special needs children<\/strong>, offering guidance, encouragement, and support rooted in compassion and understanding. In addition, Erin helps missionaries and their families with stress management, teaches health skills tailored for remote and tribal settings, and provides natural health education for daily life in the Amazon.<\/p>\n At home, Erin stays busy homeschooling their children<\/strong>, Liam and Anora, while also remaining involved in hospitality and local ministry<\/strong> \u2014 encouraging and uplifting those who pass through the mission base in Manaus.<\/p>\n Whether she\u2019s helping a teammate navigate a health issue, preparing meals for visiting families, supporting parents of special needs kids, or tending to the hearts and education of her own children, Erin reflects Christ\u2019s love in thoughtful, hands-on ways that make a lasting difference.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve learned over the years just how many moving parts it takes to keep missionaries in the field. From power systems and communications to health support and education \u2014 every piece matters.<\/p>\n And while we\u2019re no longer at the PQQ boarding school, our time there helped us understand the deep need for mission support roles<\/strong> like ours \u2014 roles that often go unseen but are vital to the work of reaching the unreached.<\/p>\n Now, based in Manaus, we\u2019re more connected than ever to the strategic coordination that helps sustain Bible translation and church planting efforts in the most isolated parts of Brazil.<\/p>\n We are part of Ethnos360\u2019s \u201cEngaging on the Edge<\/strong>\u201d initiative \u2014 supporting those living and laboring in the hardest-to-reach places. Every solar panel installed, every system repaired, every person cared for is part of something bigger: helping bring the gospel to people who have never heard it.<\/p>\n Looking back, we can see how God has orchestrated each step \u2014 preparing us through work experience, passions, and skills to serve exactly where we are now. It\u2019s humbling to be used in this way, and we\u2019re truly grateful.<\/p>\n Some of the first people God called into ministry weren\u2019t preachers \u2014 they were craftsmen<\/strong>. In Exodus 31, God says:<\/p>\n \u201cI have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills\u2026 to engage in all kinds of crafts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We love this reminder that practical, hands-on work is just as much a part of God\u2019s mission as preaching or teaching. He uses every kind of gift \u2014 and every willing heart \u2014 for His glory.<\/p>\n Thank you for standing with us. Your partnership and prayers are helping reach the ends of the earth \u2014 one connection, one translation, one relationship at a time.<\/p>\n Who We Are & What We Do We\u2019re Joe and Erin, serving in\u00a0Brazil,\u00a0 \u2014 right in the heart of the Amazon.
