Amazon Outreach began in 1999. After taking several mission trips to Brazil, a small group of short-term missionaries (people very similar to you) developed a passion for sharing Jesus with the villagers along the Amazon River Basin in Brazil.
They quickly realized they needed a boat to do ministry.
- The state of Amazonas has few major roads or highways. Contact is mainly through river transportation. Many villages are only accessible by boat; the waters rise and fall about 40 feet, depending on the season.
- On each trip, team members would be down for days with sicknesses caused by unclean water.
- Renting a boat had too many inconsistencies. The best option would be to build their boat.
One mission boat turned into two, plus a water well drilling boat. Today, Amazon Outreach is in the process of building its 3rd Mission Boat.
Our Boats:
- 1999 - LINDA ESPERANÇA (Beautiful HOPE)
- 2005 - AMOR e ESPERANÇA (LOVE and Hope)
- 2025 - FÉ e ESPERANÇA (FAITH and Hope)
