About Rick Bonfim Brazil Ministry 
Rick Bonfim Ministries began over 60 years ago in Brazil. After the construction of “The Mission”, the building became a venue for physical healing and a ministry for the discouraged, defeated, and poor. Since the mid-70s, The Mission in Brazil has provided a feeding program to the people in the city of Santa Bárbara. Today, The Mission serves 3,000 meals per month. Because of the Lord’s provision, this program has been sustained for over half a century, and RBM continues to serve the poor on a daily basis.

Additionally, RBM operated a health clinic to help serve the Brazilian people for over 25 years. The doctors serving with the ministry offered exceptional medical care to the impoverished people of Brazil during this time. Now, RBM provides a Mother/Baby program for expecting mothers. This program has drastically reduced the abortion rate in the Santa Barbara area, and with help from The Mission, mothers are able to receive proper prenatal care and support after their babies are born.

RBM also managed a seminary school in downtown Niterói for over 30 years. Hundreds of students have graduated from this school, and are now operating in full-time ministry work. The Lord continues to work in amazing ways in Brazil, and RBM believes the best is yet to come for the Brazilian people!
