Jorge and Hermelinda are missionaries who serve with the Baptist Churches in the Dereham region of the United Kingdom. They are assisting churches of the Baptist Union of Great Britain reach out to the communities of Portuguese-speaking migrant workers in the region. They are serving as jointly appointed missionaries of International Ministries and JAMI, the cross-cultural mission agency of the National Baptist Convention (CBN) in Brazil.

Their work involves visiting migrant workers, assessing needs and working with the churches to develop strategies to welcome and provide services for the migrants so that they may grow in the understanding of God’s love, truth and justice. Jorge and Hermelinda serve through the Amigos Project in the UK, which seeks to serve the Portuguese-speaking community through services and Bible studies in Portuguese, compassionate listening, food distribution to needy families and teaching English as a second language (ESL).

Jorge says, It gives us great pleasure to see many people coming to the Lord and experience the liberating power of the Gospel. We have been working alongside local authorities making sure that human right is preserved amongst those migrants that are vulnerable.
