Messenger Distribution Provides Hope to Persecuted Indigenous Communities in Venezuela and Brazil
September 2024
In December 2023, In Touch Ministries partnered with Frontline Missions to provide Messengers to the Taurepan people, an Indigenous community in South America. With a population of over 30,000, they live in Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana.
Thanks to the support and partnership of In Touch, Halima can bring hope to the Taurepan and is making vital connections to reach additional indigenous communities in Brazil and Venezuela with the Gospel.
Facing discrimination and dispossession of their traditional lands in Venezuela, many Taurepan have fled to Brazil, seeking safety. Halima, a ministry worker with Frontline, disciples believers who have committed to staying in their country, even amid adversity. Whether she is leading church services, or traveling village to village, home to home, the Messenger is the Taurepan's sole source of biblical content and a vital discipleship tool for those still enduring persecution in Venezuela.
