Pastor Jonathan and Tamba began serving in Brazil with AFLC World Missions in 1992. They have three children, April, Thomas and Michelle. April was married to Elijah Neumann in 2014.
Both Jonathan and Tamba grew up in Brazil, speak Portuguese, and have the necessary visas to live there. They are working in the city of Maringa. Maringa is about an hour drive from our seminary and Bible school in Campo Mourao, where Jonathan also teaches on a regular basis. The church in Maringa has purchased a piece of property, and with the help of the AFLC in the USA has built a new building on the site.
