Jake Brookbank, originally from Akron, Ohio, has been serving as a full-time missionary since 2019. After three impactful years in Mexico, God led him to Brazil in 2023, where he now works closely with Zion Church and Dunamis Movement. Zion Church’s mission is to make disciples and develop leaders as a local church, while Dunamis Movement focuses on empowering the next generation through the Holy Spirit to bring about social transformation.
Currently based in Recife, Brazil, Jake serves in VOX, the young adult ministry of Zion Church, which focuses on empowering and discipling individuals between the ages of 18 and 29. As the leader of operations, he works to strengthen church structures, facilitate ministry growth, and support the broader vision of establishing a thriving, Spirit-filled community in northeastern Brazil. Alongside this, Jake is helping pioneer 1Luv in English through Dunamis Movement, training and equipping high school students to be evangelists in their schools through the power of the Holy Spirit.
To continue his ministry, Jake relies on the support of others. His practical needs include food, housing, and transportation, along with resources to invest in relationships and discipleship within the young adult and high school communities. More than financial support, he seeks prayer for divine wisdom in leadership, acceleration in ministry, and personal growth and favor.
Jake’s heart is to see a generation of young Brazilians rise up with boldness, walking in their calling and transforming their world for Christ. Your partnership in prayer and support can help make this vision a reality.
