Religious affiliation does not measure who has heard the gospel, conversions or missionary activity. Population growth also influences the numbers. Coverage and years differ; these figures should not be used to rank need.
Mission perspective
Challenges for mission
01
Languages and cultures
The 295 recorded Indigenous languages show that communication requires more than speaking Portuguese.
02
Presence beyond numbers
A large evangelical population does not demonstrate continuous Christian accompaniment in every community.
03
Listening and trust
Engagement should consider each community’s context and its freedom to accept or decline the message.
Start Resgate
Why Start Resgate matters
A Brazilian base can mobilise prayer, training and support for mission across cultural boundaries at home and abroad.
Cross-cultural mission connects people, cultures and the message of Jesus. Start Resgate matters through its commitment to respectful service, missionary preparation and lasting relationships with communities.
Cross-cultural preparation
Learn the language, listen to the community and understand its history before taking action.
Partnership with local leaders
Walk alongside local churches, recognising their knowledge, priorities and leadership.
Presence and continuity
Bring together sharing the gospel, caring for people and ongoing accompaniment.
Impact to be tracked
People accompanied, missionaries prepared, local partnerships and sustained activities offer ways to assess mission. These indicators describe the regions; Start Resgate’s own results will be published with records and reporting periods once validated by the team.

Pray, learn about the project and talk with the team about contributing to mission among the nations.
