COUNTRY INFORMATION

home > brazil

Brazil is a bit smaller than the USA, but its five regions form a remarkably diverse country. The north contains the Amazon region -- home to known and unknown indigenous people. The northeast contrasts desert with beautiful palm-treed beaches. The central west boasts one of earth's most unique wildlife refuges and is home to the capital with its modern architecture. The southeast, with its multi-ethnic feel and huge industrial production, is home to São Paulo, with the world's fifth largest urban population. The south, settled mostly by European immigrant groups, inspires with its plains and rolling hills that create a backdrop to the enduring gaucho culture. You will also find the majestic Iguaçu Falls at the convergence of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.

There are approximately 350,000 indigenous people in Brazil made up of 258 indigenous groups who speak 180 different languages. Some sources indicate that Brazil contains the majority of uncontacted people on earth. Sixty percent live in the Amazon region.

Right now, God's work waits to go forward for lack of missionaries. Will you help in this enormous task?
