Rio de Janeiro
“Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?” — James 2:5 (NASB)
About Rio de Janeiro
We believe that to Jesus no one is forgotten or rejected.
Rio de Janeiro is a thriving commercial and financial center in Brazil and it is an attraction for tourists from all over the world. Iris Rio has various extensions reaching out to several aspects of the community, including hospital and community outreaches, discipleship programs, early childhood education programs, and housing repairing/building programs. The heart of this mission is to see and meet basic needs of people in the city and surrounding area, while creatively and passionately sowing into those people encouraging and teaching them to pursue Jesus. We pray that “Christ the Redeemer” as a tourist attraction will become an even more pressing reminder on the hearts of Brazilians to believe in Christ as their Redeemer. Partner with us in prayer for this beautiful city!
