Brazilian on a mission to Chard

A Brazilian missionary is working among young people in Chard, Somerset, mentoring and giving mental-health support with the help of local ministries.

Raquel Lima (see photo), who is also serving the local Portuguese community, has been placed by Latin Link (in partnership with South West Youth Ministries) to mentor and support young people alongside Forefront Church, an independent evangelical fellowship.

Raquel told how she felt the Lord’s call when very young. She studied theology and missiology and heard about the opportunity to serve God in the UK. She arrived in November 2020, the day before further lockdown was imposed, and didn’t have much opportunity to go out. But it gave her time to prepare and to understanding the culture.
