Adriano Uliano

Field Staff |

God spoke very strongly to Adriano for some time to work in transcultural missions; to train and disciple people to know the Lord Jesus, to have a life of truth and good character, and to be agents of transformation in the lives of others. He desires to raise people to be leaders to accomplish the Will of God on earth, creating new works and teaching what Jesus taught for the good of all people. Adriano completed a transcultural missionary training school in his native country of Brazil. His outreach took him to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, where he worked with street children, in the slums, and with the local church and community to improve impoverished conditions.
