A pastor in Brazil was trying to raise $120 for a kitchen sink for a family in need. He fell short, but he went to the store anyway.

The store owner donated it.

"I saw God's love helping us," said Pastor Jorge. "I was in tears."

This is what happens when a church stops looking inward and starts looking outward. A small congregation in Montes Claros, Brazil spent three months rebuilding the home of a neighbor in desperate need — walls, roof, floor, electricity, and a bathroom that finally had a door, a sink, and a hot shower for people who had never had one.

It started with a simple prayer: "Lord, give us a practical opportunity to serve a family in our community."

God answered. And an entire church was transformed in the process.

This is the story in the small home of Sergio and his mother Maneulina and it's one you won't want to miss. Read the full story below and consider becoming part of what God is doing through LoveServes in Brazil and around the world.

It costs $300/month to sponsor a pastor for a full year of coaching. One pastor. One church. One community changed.

"Lord, give us a practical opportunity to serve a family in our community."

Pastor Jorge Luis prayed that prayer. He didn't know what the answer would look like.

It looked like Sergio and Manuelina, a son and his elderly mother, living in a home that was falling apart around them. It looked like three months of weekends, weekdays, full Saturdays. Walls. Floors. A roof. A bathroom with a door for the first time in their lives.

And at the end of it, it looked like two new members joining the church family — because what began as repairing a house became a transformation of lives.

This is what LoveServes does. We coach pastors to lead outward-focused churches, congregations that ask who their neighbor is and then actually show up for them. It's happening across 5 countries. It's changing communities. And it starts with one pastor.

Will you help send more pastors like Pastor Jorge into their communities?

Sergio and his mother Manuelina had never had a hot shower.

Not in this house. Not in any house. They had always heated water in a bucket.

When a small church in Montes Claros, Brazil learned that, they wept. And then they got to work.

For three months, this congregation showed up. They rebuilt walls, poured concrete, replaced the roof, rewired the electricity. They installed a real bathroom with a sink, a door, and a hot shower. They didn't just fix a house. They restored dignity. They brought the love of Jesus in the most tangible way they knew how.

This shift — from a church focused inward to a church looking outward — is exactly what LoveServes coaches pastors to lead. And it's happening right now in Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Guatemala, Venezuela, and the United States.

When you give to LoveServes, you help make this possible. One pastor coached. One church mobilized. One community changed.

Catch a glimpse into what God does when His people are willing to go: across borders, sit with strangers, play with children, worship in a language not their own, and simply be present in the name of Jesus Christ.

We are so honored to have partnered with The Jayar Show on The JOY FM for this mission trip to the Dominican Republic. From the first candid car ride into the countryside to the final moments with the pastors and communities we serve, this team brought joy, humility, and genuine love to every room they walked into.

This is the mission of LoveServes International. We walk alongside pastors. We coach and equip local churches. We believe that when a pastor is strengthened, the church is empowered and when the church is empowered, communities are transformed.

There are 3.2 billion people who do not yet know Christ. The harvest is real. The need is great. And the Church, your Church, you are the answer.

🌍 Here is how you can be part of what God is doing:

➡️ DONATE: at loveserves.org/donate every gift goes directly to developing healthy, multiplying churches in the DR and across the nations.

➡️ GO ON A TRIP: You don't have to be a pastor or a professional. You just have to be willing. Visit https://loveserves.org/missions-trips to see our upcoming trips and register.

Español con Jayar is officially in session. 📚🇩🇴

In today's lesson: un carro, una puerta, un niño, un perro... and one very important correction from a local pastor that Jayar will not soon forget. The pastor was gracious about it. 😄

Look, not all of us arrive on the mission field fluent. Some of us point at doors and dogs and hope for the best. And honestly? That's okay. Because one of the most beautiful things about the body of Christ is that it crosses every language barrier. The Gospel doesn't require perfect Spanish, it just requires a willing heart.

And that's exactly what LoveServes has seen again and again in the Dominican Republic. Pastors and churches faithfully carrying the message of Jesus Christ into their communities (in Spanish, in Creole, in whatever language their neighbors speak) and seeing lives genuinely transformed.

We're so grateful to be on the ground here alongside The Jayar Show on The JOY FM, walking with those pastors and witnessing what God is doing. Even if our Spanish still needs a little work. 😂

Mission trips are an adventure. Sometimes a hilarious one. 😂🇩🇴

Jayar is headed into the countryside of the Dominican Republic to meet with some incredible pastors and he’s taking you along for the ride. Literally.

Between figuring out how to ask questions in Spanish and the retelling of a legendary story involving chicken wings, cargo pants, hungry dogs, and a late night ER visit that had the entire emergency room in stitches... this crew is off to quite a start. 🍗🐕😬

But here's the thing, the adventure is always part of the story. The bumpy roads, the language barriers, the unexpected moments... they're all woven into the fabric of what it means to go. To leave the comfortable and familiar and say YES to being used by God in someone else's backyard.

Because at the end of that road? There are pastors. Churches. Communities. People who are hungry, not just for food, but for the hope that only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring. And THAT is why we go.

LoveServes has been walking alongside those pastors and churches in the DR for years, equipping them to make disciples who make disciples. We're so grateful to have The Jayar Show on The JOY FM along on this journey. Adventures, dog stories, and all.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come. 🙌
