Over the past few years, Church of the Ascension has built a relatioship with the diocese of Recife in Brazil. As part of that relationship mission teams from Church of the Ascension were sent to aid several churches and projects in and around the town of Joao Pessoa (part of the diocese of Recife) in the summers of 2010 and 2011. During that time, the teams of youth and adults worked with children from an impoverished riverside community, aided in community outreach and evangelism, and assisted with a construction project.
