Railson & Heidi Gil

Christian missionaries in Pará, northern Brazil.

Railson, native to Pará, is called to developing projects which exemplify the Kingdom in practical ways, specifically through communications development and digital integration (that is, making computer technology available to disadvantaged classes). Heidi is a pediatric nutritionist and English teacher from Oregon, USA. She enjoys putting the Gospel into practice as she counsels nutritionally needy families. Our gifts bring us into contact with people of all levels, which often leads to house visits and impromptu gatherings around the Bible. We love it when God surprises our unsuspecting visitors with the tangible sense of His presence! Here you will find our current and past newsletters as well as photos of our family and region. Have fun exploring our site!

  We are going into a partnership with the Vineyard pastor in Macapa (about 7 hours away by bus, right on the equator) to be able to sell internet links in the interior. Or, I should say, Railson in doing this, as I have no idea of what is involved. It should be good for all of us. Also, I’m volunteering at the hospital, but I am accumulating so many patients that I’m thinking of going into private practice as soon as I get my ID card and registration in the Brazilian Dietetics Association. A local doctor has invited me to make use of her clinic space, so maybe next year I’ll give that a try. It’s fun at least. I’m just hoping we can get affiliated with the insurance company, because if not, very few people will be able to afford consultation….
