Who We Are. The Brazil Inland Mission, Inc., is incorporated in the State of Illinois, since 1955, with headquarters in
Wheaton, IL. It is evangelical and independent, and the composition of its personnel is interdenominational. It is also
incorporated, since 1958, in the Republic of Brazil as "A Missão Interior do Brasil."
BIM Policy. The policy of the Brazil Inland Mission, Inc., is to evangelize, train national workers, and to establish
national, self-supporting churches. It is Mission policy to cooperate and seek to fellowship, as far as possible, with all those
who are fundamental in Bible doctrine and reasonable in practice. Missionaries work in close harmony with Brazilian nationals.
The BIM holds to the principles upon which it is founded.
Evangelization and Church Planting. Evangelization is of prime importance, and discipleship of new and older believers is
essential to growth in God's Word. Church planting has resulted in the establishment of fifteen self-supporting churches with
excellent ministries in southern and central Brazil. The churches have regular outreach ministries and congregations in other
towns and communities, and each continues as such until it becomes an organized church.
Specialized Training. Preparation for the ministry is located in two schools of Bible education: the
Theological Seminary of Araçatuba, in Araçatuba, São Paulo, and the Thompson Theological Bible Seminary, in
Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. Courses are offered for both men and women in preparation for various ministries. Both the
Brazilian brethren and missionaries share this undertaking, and they would welcome others who would be interested to join
them in this teaching challenge.
Goals. The goals of the Brazil Inland Mission, Inc., are to cooperate in evangelization, training and encouragement so
that the brethren of the Brazilian churches will become self-supporting and self-propagating, and ready for the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
