Pastor Eugênio Jr., from the church in Colombo/PR; Brother Geucimar Brilhador, from the city of Curitiba/PR; Pastor Jaime Vieira, from the church in Lontras/SC; Evangelist Valério Felippe, from the city of Lontras/SC Brother Dariu Balcker, from the city of Pouso Redondo/SC Our project includes three stages: 1. know the digital tools: application, broadcasts via social networks, online courses, sponsored ads, online interaction; 2. Attract people: through courses and advertisements; do course pilots and interact with new people in cities where there is already a local church; 3. Retain and care for people: promoting intimacy with God (prayer, fasting and study)
