City | Santarém Ministry | PAZ International Length | 3 Weeks Cost |  $3,300

Travel to the Amazon River and work alongside Project Amazon (PAZ). PAZ has planted over 500 churches in the last thirty years by constructing church buildings in villages. You’ll travel by boat along the Amazon, help build the churches, and spend time in the evenings doing children’s ministry, door-to-door evangelism, and partnering with local churches (worship, Bible studies, and cell groups). The days and nights are full, but you’ll fall in love with Brazil and its people as you build communities a church of their very own!
