CONFRADEB was born in the heart of God and shaped by the sincere desire to unite, strengthen, and provide direction to Brazilian pastors and ministries in the United States.
According to the institution's own history, this movement began when Pr. Joel Freire started reaching out to Brazilian missionaries spread across North America, with the purpose of building a permanent, organized work marked by unity.
From the beginning, CONFRADEB's vision was to gather workers from different regions and cultures, establishing an administrative structure capable of promoting fellowship, cooperation, and the healthy growth of God's work.
The institution's statutes reinforce this purpose by defining CONFRADEB as a fraternal convention, organized in the United States, dedicated to unity, fellowship, cooperation, evangelization, and the building up of the Church.
Thus, CONFRADEB did not emerge merely as an organization, but as a response to the need for support, coverage, alignment, and ministerial strengthening for Brazilian churches and leaders.
Its trajectory reveals a commitment to faith, biblical order, and the advancement of God's Kingdom, so that the work may continue to grow with solidity, purpose, and vision.
