Some of the most meaningful ministry happens long after the initial conversation.
Through our outreach to individuals affected by prostitution and human trafficking, we invested time in building genuine relationships with those we met on the streets during our weekly outreaches. As trust developed, we invited them to monthly dinners where we could share a meal, listen to their stories, offer encouragement, and continue pointing them to the hope found in Christ.
Real transformation often begins with trust, compassion, and consistent presence. People need to know they are seen, valued, and loved.
These gatherings provided opportunities to move beyond brief encounters and into meaningful relationships. Around the table, authentic conversations unfolded as stories were shared, testimonies were given, prayers were offered, and ongoing support was established. Through these relationships, we were able to walk alongside individuals as they navigated difficult circumstances and explored the hope of lasting change.

"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." — Proverbs 24:11
This Scripture served as a guiding verse for our ministry as we seek to bring the light and hope of Christ into some of the darkest places and circumstances.

In a remote indigenous community in Northern Brazil, 🇧🇷 we had the privilege of partnering with a local ministry to provide human trafficking prevention and awareness training. Part of our trauma training initiative of Dia Gratia.

Together, we explored the vulnerabilities of the human heart, the difference between healthy and unhealthy expressions of love, and how unresolved wounds can create pathways for exploitation. As this community continues to experience increasing influence from the surrounding culture, challenges such as addiction, depression, and other vulnerabilities have become more prevalent.🤎

Through translation into their native language, these important conversations became accessible and practical, equipping leaders and community members with tools to recognize risks, build resilience, and protect the most vulnerable among them.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside faithful local partners who are committed to bringing hope, healing, and truth to their communities.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed." — Proverbs 31:8

There are conversations that are difficult to have… but necessary to protect the vulnerable. 💔

During a conference in the Philippines, we had the opportunity to teach on the heart, vulnerabilities, and the importance of guarding against abuse and sexual coercion. All part of trauma training through Dia Gratia. We also led discussions centered around human trafficking awareness and the realities many individuals face around the world.

Education, prevention, and Gospel-centered care matter. When people understand their value, recognize manipulation, and are equipped with truth, it creates pathways toward protection, healing, and freedom. 🙏

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23

Thankful for every leader, ministry worker, and attendee willing to step into these hard but deeply important conversations

☕✨ We love sharing memories like this one. A beautiful time of fellowship, encouragement, and joy at the Women’s Christmas Tea at Calvary Belém in Brazil.

Women gathered together to hear the Word of God, share life with one another, and simply enjoy meaningful time together in community. Moments like these remind us how powerful it is when women come together in faith, friendship, and love. ❤️

Hebrews 10:24-25 — "...And let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near."

“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed.” — Isaiah 1:17a

From trauma care trainings… to ministry partnerships… to serving vulnerable women, children, pastors, refugees, and communities around the world — every moment is rooted in the call to love people the way Christ has loved us. ❤️

These photos are more than memories. They are reminders that God is still moving through willing hearts, faithful partnerships, and the Gospel lived out in action.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, supported, encouraged, and served alongside Dia Gratia. There is still so much work to be done. 🌍

Healing doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people are equipped to step into pain with wisdom, compassion, and hope. ❤️‍🩹

This moment from our trauma trainings in Porto Alegre, Brazil with our ministry partner Samaritan’s Purse was a reminder that communities heal stronger when leaders are prepared to walk alongside those carrying deep wounds. After so much devastation and loss, these trainings created space for understanding, care, and restoration for pastors, ministry leaders, and those serving on the frontlines of trauma.

Trauma-informed ministry matters because people matter. And every conversation, every prayer, and every act of compassion can become part of someone’s healing journey. 🇧🇷

There are moments in ministry that leave a permanent mark on your heart. ❤️

This photo was taken during an annual volunteer appreciation dinner at our church plant, Calvary Chapel Belém.

What we expected to be a simple evening of gratitude became something far more humbling. Our leadership team surprised Kyle and Krista Fox by bringing them on stage, washing their feet, and speaking words of encouragement and prayer over them.

It was a powerful reminder that true leadership in the Kingdom of God is rooted in humility, love, and serving one another. We remain deeply grateful for the family of believers the Lord allowed us to serve alongside in Belém. 🇧🇷

“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.” — John 13:14 ✨

In the heart of the Amazon river communities, we had the privilege of teaching on human trafficking prevention and education alongside one of our ministry partners. ❤️

Through conversations centered on the biblical picture of healthy love, family, and the God-given roles of mothers and fathers, we sought to help build resiliency, restore dignity, and limit vulnerabilities within these communities.

We gathered in a small riverside church believing that prevention begins with truth, compassion, and the hope of the Gospel. Thankful for every pastor, leader, and family who welcomed us so warmly. 🙏

Through a partnership with Samaritan’s Purse, Dia Gratia had the privilege of helping equip ministry leaders to better understand trauma, walk through healing, and become more trauma-informed as they care for their churches and communities.

This all-day Trauma Healing Conference in 2025 focused on four key themes:
• Healing Through Trauma
• Adults, Children & Trauma
• Trauma as Ministry
• Forgiveness

We are grateful for every pastor, leader, and ministry worker who attended with open hearts and a desire to bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to those impacted by tragedy. 🙏

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ… the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble.” — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Women gathering together in God's Word growing in faith, and building one another up. 💙

We're grateful for the beautiful work the Lord is continuing to do through women's discipleship at our previous church plant, Calvary Chapel Belém in Pará Brazil. ⛪

Moments like these remind us that discipleship is not just about teaching truth, but walking through life together in Christ - encouraging, praying, learning, and growing side by side.👭
