The fourth national meeting of Nazarene Missions International in Brazil was held 14-16 April 2023 under the theme Até que todos ouçam (Until everyone hears). The event was attended by 180 missions leaders under the leadership of the national NMI coordinator, Antonio Carlos.

Manuel Lima, director of the Brazil sub-region, opened the event on Friday night with a challenging word that included data from the 2022 Brazilian Missionary Force survey and its implications on missionary practices.

On Saturday, NMI leaders attended discussions that were guided by the central theme and emphasized the proclamation of the gospel among all peoples, especially the unreached. Early in the morning, the Brazil holistic ministry coordinator, Sandro Ribeiro, brought a devotional for the edification of the participants. Soon after, Felipe Fulanetto, national secretary of NMI Brazil, gave two presentations with the themes "Holiness and Missions" and "Purpose and Pillars of NMI."

In the afternoon, Ivanilzes Carnaúba, district president of NMI Northeast Central, presented on the topic "Ideas, tools and strategies for NMI." Then Igor Vale, district president of NMI Amazônia, shared statistics and the need for outreach to unreached people during a segment titled "Until Everyone Hears." 

During the final presentation, Maely Ionã, coordinator of the School of Missions for Adolescents (EMA), spoke about the critical need for missionary care during a session titled "Caring for those who care."

The Saturday night missions panel included Cassia Borges, Cinthia Galvan, Edivaldo Junior, Igor Vale, Ivanilzes Carnaúba, Maely Ionã, Rodrigo Weber, and Sidney Xaxá. Paulistano District NMI President Verônica Oliveira moderated the panel.

On Sunday morning, the event came to a close with preaching from the superintendent of the Porto Alegre District, Romero Moreira. Then Communion was distributed with everyone's participation.

Throughout the event, leaders emphasized the need to pray for unreached peoples and missionaries during prayer times held each day at 10:02 a.m. The time related to Luke 10:2, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." 

Cards featuring statistical data on unreached peoples and missionary opportunities through the Church of the Nazarene were distributed as people left. The attendees left committed to prayer and missionary sending in a spirit of unity and holiness so that all people can hear about Jesus Christ.
