Hi, I’m Daniel Ribeiro, and my life has been marked by God’s call to worship and missions. I was raised by Brazilian missionary parents and grew up surrounded by the life of the church. As a child, I would listen to Diante do Trono and tell people, “I’m going to do the same thing when I grow up.” Looking back now, I know it wasn’t just a child’s dream — it was the voice of God planting His calling in my heart from a young age. For a season, my heart grew cold toward the Brazilian church, but in His mercy, God began softening my heart again in 2022—restoring my love for the Bride of Christ in Brazil and reminding me that His plans for me have always been far bigger than my own.
In April 2023, during a time of prayer, the Lord interrupted my quiet time with a clear vision: a movement in Brazil that would return the church to pure, cross-centered worship, awaken her to the beauty of the gospel, and purify the prophetic. That December, I traveled to Brazil for Christmas. As I saw the spiritual state of the church, God reminded me of the April vision and spoke to my spirit, “Do it here.” It became clear that this calling was something He had been speaking over my life since childhood.
In October 2024, God brought prophetic confirmation through a word from someone who knew nothing of my calling. They said God had given me a native language to carry an apostolic move of worship and missions into that nation — and that a church would be birthed from it. The greatest instruction in that word was to remain close to Him. This sealed in my heart that the vision was not mine, but His.
This past season, I have been part of YWAM Kona’s Fire & Fragrance Extreme Places DTS, a school passionate about training Brazilians. During our Brazil intercession week, God spoke clearly to me: “Next year, you will be in Brazil.” Just weeks later, leaders approached me about a pioneering Fire & Fragrance DTS launching in Brazil in the fall of 2026. God confirmed in my spirit that I am to be part of it. As I prepare to join that school in Brazil, my plan is to return afterward and staff the April DTS in Kona — training, discipling, and raising up Brazilian missionaries and lovers of Jesus who will carry the gospel into the nations.
When God gives the mission, He invites His Church to join Him in fulfilling it. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 that the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all nations before He returns, and there are still billions who have never heard. My role is to go — but this is not my vision alone. This is the Lord’s vision, and you are invited into it. When you partner in prayer, you are standing in the gap for Brazil and for the nations. When you give financially, you are not just funding a trip — you are engaging in an act of intercession, sowing into what God is doing, and helping send worshipers, intercessors, and missionaries into places that desperately need the true gospel. Every soul reached, every worship leader trained, and every church planted is fruit that will be credited to your obedience as well.
Your support has a direct impact on seeing His name lifted high, His Bride awakened, and the nations reached with the good news of Jesus.
Together, we can carry His heart to Brazil and beyond.
Daniel
