About Us

The purpose of this blog is for you to get to know our family: Brent, Connie, Micah and David Gregory, our ministry and our life here in Brazil. It is a privilege to serve Jesus in the Amazon Basin.  After you visit our blogs and our photos we hope you will write us. 

Here’s a little of our history.  Brent, Connie, and our oldest son, Micah first visited Project Amazon in 1997. We loved what we saw happening in the Amazon basin. Because of our love for the Brazilian people and for the church planting vision of Project Amazon, as a family we began praying for God’s will concerning missions.

In 2004, we moved to Manaus, Brazil for 10 months of language training and then to Castanhal, Brazil where we are currently serving as missionaries.
All the us are actively involved in the ADM (Apostolic Discipleship Model) vision of cells and discipleship.

Our sending church is Metro-East Christian Fellowship (MECF), located in O’Fallon, Illinois. MECF trained us in a cell-based ministry model that is virtually identical to the one that PAZ uses.

Before joining PAZ, Brent worked almost 20 years in public water supply, while Connie managed their household and home schooled the boys. Brent served as an elder at MECF and the couple ministered together as cell group leaders for several years.
