We are: Marcio, Amber, Joshua, Lucas and Sophia
Rev. Márcio is a pastor, therapist and coach from Brazil. He was a co-founder of a successful geological company in Brazil when, in 2005, God asked him to leave his career to serve the Lord amongst the nations. His academic background includes two bachelors (Geology and Theology) and two masters (Geosciences and Pastoral Counselling).
Dr. Amber is medically trained and a marine biologist from Australia. A daughter of missionaries, she spent many years living in a creative access area in Asia and worked as part of an orphanage and children’s hospital. She sensed God’s calling over her life to become a doctor and serve Him through this profession in the nations, where the gospel is much higher than words and should be translated into practical love.
Márcio and Amber first met in Argentina in 2005, when they started their full-time missionary work together, and were married in 2007, during their work in Scotland. They then moved to Southeast Asia, where they ministered for six years, subsequently moved to Brazil for three years, and then spent the last 2 years in the Philippines. They are blessed with three bright and active children who were each born in different countries: Joshua (2016), Lucas (2018), and Sophia (2021). It has been over sixteen years of fulfilling work, where they have organized and conducted various programs in missions, counseling, community work and leadership development.
God has now called them to be part of the transformative plan that He is writing in this part of the world. Márcio and Amber will minister in the areas of Church Development, Compassionate Ministries and Mission Mobilization.
For the rest of their lives, their hearts are to empower families, leaders, and communities to walk in the purposes of God through healing their wounds and equipping them with tools to live meaningful lives.
