Hi, welcome to my giving page!
I’m Rita and I’m starting to serve as a staff, full-time, with the campus ministry in Lisboa, Portugal.
As a Portuguese I can tell you we are a very religious country and you see a lot of christian values on our people and culture, but that doesn’t mean necessarily everyone has a personal relationship with Jesus. I didn’t before, and I can see many people around me identifying with loving one another, serving, hosting and caring, but rarely connecting it with the True source of all these – Jesus Christ.
As Agape, our mission is to make Jesus known by sharing, discipling and sending disciples who make disciples, transforming lives. How? We get to share with university students, equip, disciple and finally, inspire them to be sent and share the Gospel with others, through our weekly/monthly events.
I also love art and I studied music and music therapy. I do get to give some sessions for children with disabilities and I’m passionate helping others experiencing God through art.
Will you join me and play a part in God’s mission, praying and/or making a regular/one-off gift, to help me reach out to these students that He loves so much?
If you would like to get in touch with me, here’s my email: rita.barata@agapeportugal.org

Thank you for considering joining my team! It’s a joy to love and serve people well and it’s only possible through your support.
with Love,
Rita
