Jerry Hranka

Santarem, Brazil

The mission of Project Amazon or what is now called Paz International, is to take the Gospel of Jesus to the more than 35,000 Amazonian towns and villages that have no Bible believing church. These communities are homes to millions of Portuguese speaking people who have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel.

Ministry Description:

Jerry moved to Brazil in November, 2008 and joined the mission’s main base in Santarém, in January of 2009. In recent years Jerry was managing the administration of the main office for the Mission. Jerry has now taken on a new role. His duties include coordinating specific projects within the Mission with a special focus on the water filter program, assisting with the international short term teams, helping to raise funds for specific projects, liaising with our support organization in Canada, and assisting in the missionary recruitment process. Jerry is also involved with his local Brazilian church and is engaged in one-on-one discipleship.

Paz International also has ministry bases in Japan, Portugal, Italy and Argentina.

Prayer Requests

  • Continued advancement in the Kingdom of God as we spread further out into the Amazon Basin and other parts of Brazil with the message of Christ.
  • Good mental, spiritual, and physical health as I continue my ministry work here in Santarem.
  • Over the past few years, we’ve been distributing portable water filters to numerous communities. Please pray that we can continue raising the funds needed to provide these life-changing filters—free of charge—to villages in desperate need.
  • Wisdom and discernment for our leaders. Pray that they are unified in the decisions they make and that God’s will is first and foremost in their decision-making process.
  • International teams have become an integral part of our ministry. We kindly ask for your prayers that more teams will be led to join and support us in this important work..
  • Praise report for the thousands of people within the Amazon Basin, in and around Santarem that have recently accepted Christ as their Savior. Please pray as more communities are being evangelized, there is an increasing need for trained spiritual leaders to support and oversee the growth of new believers in these remote areas
