About Us

Our Mission

Taking the gospel of Jesus Christ, an expression of God’s love, to people in places of financial poverty and social vulnerability.

Action and Love is made up of many different people working together for a shared purpose. “That every person we serve would know Christ and make Him Known".

How It Started

Action and Love began when God spoke to Simone’s heart in 2010 in the quiet town of Marlborough, Massachusettes. It was a Sunday morning when Marcos, Simone’s husband, had gone out with their eldest son Fabio.

While she stayed at home taking care of Matheus who needed to avoid contact with large grups of people. After his birth he needed to have a bone marrow transplant and needed more care due to low immunity.

It was a difficult time in her life with caring for Matheus, but on that specific day she felt the Lord bother her and speak to her heart. Not yet sure what God wanted, she asked God to show her.

After praying, sitting in front of the computer, she searched for the words “house of prayer”. The name of the church where she is a member. A request for help then appeared from a church in Paraíba, in the city of Duas Estradas, a request from brother Paulo Eduardo.

It then became clear to her that God wanted her to get involved in missionary work. God had presented the mission field to her. After a while she met Paulo Naene, who lived in Maputo, Mozambique. He served the Lord in a church in that city.

Still not knowing him personally and not sure if she should start a project to help that church. She wanted to know more about him so she asked him if he had ever been to Brazil, he said yes. To her surprise, he said that he had even stayed in the small town of Engenheiro Caldas, Minas Gerais, which coincidentally is Simones hometown.

Not only that, he even said that he had stayed at Carlos and Reni’s house, who are none other than Simones parents! From that moment on she felt calm to start helping with this work, as she understood that it was God’s direction.

Since then, other missionary projects in Brazil, Mozambique and the Middle East have been our focus. Action and Love was created to support and be completely involved with the missionary work of preaching the gospel under the direction of God.
