Jessica Foster Do Nascimento

When I was 14 years old I was struck by Christ's amazing love on the cross and I gave Him my life. 
When I was 20, still in college, I understood He was calling to begin the journey of knowing Him and making Him known.
Since 2010 I have been serving our Lord Jesus reaching college students in Sao Paulo and Fortaleza, Brazil. In 2019 I was invited to lead a team of 12 missionaries. I often felt unsure and unprepared for the challenges of leadership. God used that experience to show that just like me, other ministry leaders struggled to lead people in ministry and be spiritually healthy. In 2021 God opened a door to obtain a dual degree in Global Leadership and Theology at Dallas Baptist University. He promised to provide for everything and He did it through His people, giving of His resources to accomplish His mission!

Now I am interning in church planting in Dallas and in September 2024 I will return to Brazil to train new ministers so they can lead spiritually healthy lives, and by their example of living out the gospel not by their might, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.  I believe God empowers spiritually healthy leaders to influence their congregations to experience a deeper walk with God and live for the kingdom reaching their communities with the Gospel.

It´s a joy and a great honor and I invite you to be a part of this adventure with me and through me.

Your servant in Christ,
Jessica Foster
