Their Story
A life fully dedicated to Christ
Pastor Rodrigo is originally from São Paulo, Brazil. He came to know Jesus Christ in 2000 during a Christian retreat — a life-changing encounter that set the course of his life toward worship, discipleship, and missions.
After earning a degree in Business, he answered God's calling and completed his Bachelor of Theology at the Presbyterian Seminary "Reverendo José Manuel da Conceição" in 2008. For over fourteen years he has served with Capacitados para Repartir, a CRU International partner, reaching teenagers and families across Brazil.
Together with his wife Rosana and their son Joaquim, Rodrigo has poured his heart into serving others.
