equipministries

Ron and Christine Hamstad are an apostolic team with an equipping ministry sent to Brazil and the nations. They are ordained ministers who have been in the ministry for over 30 years working with various Evangelical and Charismatic churches. They graduated from Bible College, were missionaries in Europe, planted churches, and been involved in pastoral ministry.

They have equipped, trained and activated thousands of believers to continue the ministry of Jesus; proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of God, healing the sick and bringing freedom and deliverance. They have a vision to see the Church fulfill its apostolic calling to disciple all nations for the harvest.

Ron and Christine are founders and directors of Ministério Sozo, a registered non-profit institute in Brazil. The ministry includes a Brazil School of Supernatural Ministry and Missions Training Center based in Santo André a suburb of São Paulo. They began the Brazil School of Supernatural Ministry in 2005 where they are equipping and training Brazilian revivalists, walking in integrity and power, to transform nations. They have raised up a leadership team of young Brazil revivalists who are being prepared and expanding the Kingdom of God, bringing revival to transform and disciple all nations. Their team is becoming a supernatural community who has a vision to see transformation of their region and nation.

2010 began a significant transition in their ministry. In addition to providing oversight and encouragement to their Brazilian team and Brazil School of Supernatural Ministry, they continue to build bridges to other nations. Their ministry in Europe and the UK last year revealed how much that part of the world, which was once the birthplace of reformation and revival is now one of the most spiritually needy regions of the world. Although there are pockets of revival, much of Europe remains unchurched and un-evangelized.

Approximately 90% of all cross-cultural “ministers” worldwide are concentrating on only 2% of the world’s population! We need a substantial strategic redeployment of the missionary workforce to the areas where there is still no access to the message of the Kingdom. As a result, they are focusing efforts toward those who have never heard or received the good news of the kingdom, and equipping those who have a call to reach the unreached.

In March 2011, Ron and Christine traveled to Western Kenya where a non-denominational pastors and leaders training and equipping conference was held for those who are reaching the unreached as 70 leaders and pastors from 40 churches gathered together for 4 days.

In August 2011, they will be traveling to the Philippines holding a training and equipping conference for church planters to unreached Muslim villages, and pastors and leaders from those churches.

It is our desire to do several of these kinds of mission trips per year into countries that are unable to pay our way. If you would like to partner with us to help support these trips and the costs involved to bring the pastors that are coming from long distances to attend the conferences.
