Who We Are
Linhares Family
Thiago Linhares is married to Fabiana, and together they are parents to Amanda and Gabriel. He understands his family as his primary responsibility and first ministry. Faith, love, and service are cultivated daily in the ordinary rhythms of home, shaping the way he lives and serves in every other area of life.
Thiago has served as a pastor since 2017 and has had the privilege of participating in and leading a church planting process in Brazil. Throughout these years, he has walked closely with people, discipled believers, and helped establish healthy local church structures.
Alongside his pastoral ministry, Thiago is also trained as a lawyer. His legal background has contributed to a strong sense of responsibility, discernment, and integrity, equipping him to navigate complex situations with wisdom and care.
We trust the Lord’s work and timing and remain committed to following Him faithfully, while inviting others to walk with us through prayer and partnership.

A Call to Prayer
Church planting is, first and foremost, a work of prayer.
We deeply believe that unless the Lord builds the house, those who labor build in vain. For this reason, we invite you to walk with us as a prayer partner in this season of preparation and discernment.
We are grateful for every prayer lifted on our behalf and trust that God is at work through His people.
Please pray with us for:
• Wisdom and discernment as we prepare for the planting of this local church
• Faithfulness to Scripture and a Christ-centered vision in every decision
• Strong relationships within the Brazilian community in the DFW area
• Unity, humility, and perseverance for our family during this season
• God’s provision — spiritual, relational, and financial — according to His will
