Pastor e Família

The work of Assembleia de Deus Ministério Missão Projeto Restaurando Vidas in Canada had already been cared for by God. At the end of 2018, presiding pastor Suimar José Caetano, president of the Assembleia de Deus Ministério Missão Projeto Restaurando Vidas church in the United States, felt in his heart that it was time to further strengthen the work in this land. The ministry then made a decision: to send Pastor Edson and his family as missionaries to take over the work in Canada.

On December 24, 2018, Christmas Eve, Pastor Edson, his wife, and their daughters set foot on Canadian soil. They left behind family, friends, and everything they knew, but carried in their hearts the certainty that God had called them to that mission. Upon arriving, they found a small group of brethren who had already been meeting since 2017 at the church on 1871 Weston Road. With Pastor Edson's arrival, the work was strengthened and the ministry became established, growing steadily.

The church was then officially established as Assembleia de Deus Missão Canadá. What began as a humble gathering became a solid congregation, which continues to this day with Pastor Edson and his family dedicated to the work, spreading God's word and restoring lives in this land.
