Restoration Ministries seeks to impact the world for Jesus Christ as a gospel-based ministry to underprivileged children and their communities, which plants churches, develops and equips self-sustaining local church-based ministries by partnering and networking with churches, agencies, kindred ministries and the marketplace.

Paulo and his wife Ireni, have been working in São Paulo since 1988. Both Brazilian nationals, they worked on the streets forming small groups and Bible studies. In 1991, they founded Restoration Ministries, a World Venture ministry committed to transforming underprivileged children and their communities through the Good News of Jesus Christ. “Restoration Ministries is about relationships”, says Paulo, “We get attached, we invest personally. Whatever the outcome, good or bad, we still invest everything in people. I have invested my life in people who are now investing their lives in other people.” The children who once participated in the ministry outreaches are now stepping into leadership roles. We have an incredible staff devoted to these communities and working daily to make a difference in people’s lives.
