About us
Transforming Brazil with Your Help
In March of 2000, Philip, Renee and their children moved to Brazil to open Light to the Nations Church, (ILAN Church in Portuguese). Over the last two decades they have built a church planting network, a multi-campus Dream Center, a book publishing company, and a multi-campus school, which all contribute to advancing the Kingdom of God in Brazil.
Missions Trips
Each year Light to the Nations receives over 100 short term missionaries in up to 12 trips per year. These teams volunteer through medical missions, the Dream Center, our local church, our schools, evangelism, and construction projects. We would love to host you or your church group on a missions trip. Send us an email below if you are interested!
