CHPC, along with several other churches, sponsor missionaries Michael and Irene Sivalee. They have been missionaries in Brazil for over 26 years. Until recently, they worked and taught at the Rev. Antonio Godoy Sobrinho Seminary of Londrina, Parana. Before that, they worked as "church planters" in northern Brazil and then as teachers at the Center for Missionary Training in central Brazil.
In their new assignment in central Brazil, the Sivalees will be working to organize a presbytery, revitalize several existing congregations and "plant" new churches in several areas around Brazilia, Brazil. To find out more about their current mission, visit this site. Then click on Missionaries & Projects, then South America and then Brazil.
