  • #4 Archbishop Uchoa - Missional Planting: "The Lord who gives the vision gives the provision" (Part 2)
    Apr 10 2024

    In this second interview, Archbishop Miguel Uchoa speaks about the boldness required to put the gospel mission first when church planting. His vision for Brazil is to see no less than everybody reached by the ministry of Christ, and doing so requires church leaders to reject a spirit of maintenance as they seek after the lost.

    Anglicans can become a cultural conquerors when our compassion for the world consumes more of our time than merely combating heresy. Archbishop Uchoa urges us to "send the best" leaders among us to plant new churches, trusting that God will multiply his people.
