2022 Year-End Overview

Jeff and Becky grew up worlds apart, Becky in Brazil and Jeff in the US.  From travelling on riverboats,  helping to plant churches in the remote regions of the Amazon, leading cell groups, and being involved in church ministries, both have demonstrated their passion for the Lord’s work and souls. Jeff and Becky have served in the Amazon region of Brazil for 40 years and are the leaders of PAZ International.  They have four married children who are also serving with PAZ International, three in the Tokyo region of Japan and one in the Sao Paulo region of Brazil. 

Our Ministry

PAZ is as unique as the people we serve: from the people of the villages of the Amazon Basin in Brazil to the people in first-world nations around the world. For example, in the Amazon, we normally travel by boat and 4-wheel drive vehicles to reach remote villages. We use strategies such as medical and dental assistance to open up villages to the Gospel. In contrast, in Japan, a large percentage of the population travel by train, bicycle, car, and a lot of walking. We reach out to the people through our coffee shop ministry tied to a program for helping treat those suffering depression, loneliness, isolation and thoughts of suicide.

Urgent Needs

Beginning first in the Amazon Basin, and then expanding throughout almost all 26 states of Brazil and into 7 additional countries, PAZ International represents a powerful movement in church-planting and disciple-making. This intense focus on the Great Commission has been met with God's blessing and favour in extraordinary ways.
