Pastors Samuel and Daniele knew, even before their marriage, that God was uniting them with a purpose. Samuel always knew that he had been called to protect, lead, and love people, and Daniele found in him a minister and pastor. Together they began their ministry in Paulinia, São Paulo / Brazil, supported by the Evangelical Apostolic Church (Bishop Claudinir de Lima). Years later, Samuel began traveling around Brazil and abroad with the ministry of worship, preaching the word as an evangelist, and leading the ministry Youth of the nation.

In Campinas / Sao Paulo, Samuel and Daniele became ordained pastors of the church and began actively serving the church as minister, evangelist. And they were promised that something new was about to happen in their lives.
Acts of the Apostles 20.24 NIV However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

"Do not look back"; That was the word received by the couple and on June 30, they left Brazil, heading to the United States, to live a new time. The attitude of obeying, even without knowing what was coming, was what opened their vision and led them to see the way. The choice of country was in gratitude, in return for the American pastor and bishop Sow Kunihiro, founder of his church in Brazil.
New Jersey was just the starting point. One family invited Samuel and his family to come to NJ and start a small Bible study in their living room. This invitation was a signal to Bishop Claudinir, Samuel, and their family that a door of opportunity for a mission was opening and they accepted this challenge.
And after dreaming of this new place, he understood the next step to a new earth, to establish the church. Confirmation came through a very clear and specific word from God to them in Deuteronomy 10. 9-11.
DEUTORONOMY 10.9-11
9. This is why the Levites have no portion of land or inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as the Lord their God had promised them.
10. So I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as the first time; and this time also the Lord heeded me, and would not destroy them.
11. "Go," the Lord told me. "Lead the people in their way, that they may take possession of the land which I swore to their forefathers."
LIVE BY FAITH.
THIS IS OUR FLAG!
LIVING IN HOPE
IS OUR BANNER

August 13, 2014: Moving to Framingham, Massachusetts
The start in Framingham was with meetings in the living room of his apartment. About 9 months later, Hope Church started in Kendal St. Starting with a few families and less than a year, the church grew by more than 50%. However, with the city's growth and development plans for Framingham downtown, they were forced to leave their meeting place.

Still in Daniel’s Table building, the 90-member church was growing and already had approximately 160 committed people.
But due to the city's plan to build and develop Framingham Downtown, they were forced to leave the place where they met.
In September, they moved to the Salvation Army Building and there, they once again proved the Lord's faithfulness. In less than 9 months, the number of people doubled. A growth of more than 100%.
