"The greatest adventure isn't living in the Amazon. The greatest adventure is spending a lifetime faithfully following wherever God leads."

For more than 43 years, Al and Kim Yoder have done exactly that. From pioneering church plants in Brazil to discipling future pastors and watching Brazilian believers become missionaries themselves, their story is a powerful testimony that God's Kingdom advances through ordinary people who faithfully say "yes" to His call.

In this conversation, Al and Kim reflect on decades of ministry, the lessons they've learned through hardship and joy, and why the greatest adventure isn't found in exotic places—it's found in faithfully following wherever God leads.

Al and Kim Yoder have faithfully served the Lord in Brazil for more than 43 years, investing their lives in church planting, aviation ministry, theological education, and biblical counseling. Today, they continue equipping pastors and church leaders through seminary ministry while encouraging the next generation to faithfully follow God's call.

• Pray for their ongoing ministry of training pastors and church leaders. Although their season of pioneering ministry in the Amazon has come to a close, Al and Kim continue investing in the next generation through theological education and biblical counseling. Pray that God would use their teaching to strengthen churches across Brazil and multiply faithful leaders. 
• Pray for lasting fruit from decades of discipleship. One of the greatest joys they shared was seeing believers like Duda grow into mature disciples and eventually become missionaries themselves. Pray that the churches they planted and the leaders they trained would continue producing disciples who make disciples for generations to come. 
• Pray for strength, wisdom, and good health. After more than forty-three years of ministry, Al and Kim remain passionate about serving Christ. Pray that God would continue to give them health, wisdom, and opportunities to encourage pastors, missionaries, and churches both in Brazil and around the world. 
• Pray that God would use Al's new book, In Him. Pray that the stories of God's faithfulness shared in In Him: God Stories from the Mighty Amazon River would encourage believers, strengthen the faith of churches, and inspire a new generation to faithfully follow God's call wherever He leads.
