Welcome to the official page for the 2022 Reston Bible Church, Parent-Child Mission Team. This is where you will be able to track along with the team as they prepare for their week-long adventure in Brazil.

Let’s get you started with a little bit of information about what the team will be up to during their stay in Brazil.
This coming April a team of parents and children from Reston Bible Church will be traveling to Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil to serve with Open Arms’ missionaries, Sarita Romeiro and Eduardo Ribeiro, in the Lagoinha village of the Terena Indians. They will be helping lead a weeks-long evangelistic cultural exchange in the village school. In 2014 Sarita began an outreach to children in this tribal village in partnership with indigenous Pastor, Emelio, & his wife, Carmen.
So what are our goals for this team? There are 3.
- Share the gospel with as many children as we can.
- Bless the national missionaries and the local church with the energy and excitement that a mission team always brings. This also helps tremendously to build interest in the ministry and makes it much easier for our local missionaries to expand their work with other local churches.
- Provide the members of the team with an opportunity to grow in their faith through exposure to the body of Christ in a completely different cultural context and promote an awareness of the need to proclaim the gospel around the world.
