Who are the Mennonites in Brazil? Arriving initially as refugees, are they still primarily an immigrant or ethnic group? Are they a charming quiet in the land folk to be smiled at or be shown to tourists? Are they still predominantly rural, or have they urbanized? Most importantly, to what extent have Mennonites shared their Christian faith in word and in deed? These questions and many others are answered in this first-time study of this topic. You will discover ... * The story of how Mennonites came to Brazil in 1930. * The identities of their churches and missions active today. * The variety of missional services that Mennonites offer. * The key people and movements that have shaped them. * The heart of Mennonite faith and what motivates them. Those familiar with the Mennonite story will find a relevant case study of seven missions. In light of the increasing involvement of Brazilian evangelicals in global missions, Brazilians and others will gain understanding of this missional story and what God has done through Mennonite missions in Brazil through 2015. Through the four lenses of history, theology, training, and church growth, the reader will learn successes to be repeated and failures to be avoided. Numerous anecdotes, photos and study questions enhance the text. This study will lead to growth in faith, motivation, and missiological understanding.
