Ditmar Pauck
Regional Director, Brazil
Ditmar
is the first Regional Director established as part of our Passing
the Baton initiative and is based in Sao Paulo,
Brazil. Ditmar and his wife Maura were both born and raised in
Brazil. Around the age of 17, they each moved to different countries
to pursue their studies: Ditmar in Germany, and Maura in the USA.
Eventually, they met in Texas while in their final months of ministry
preparation at Dallas Theological Seminary. There they discovered
they shared the same calling: to come alongside new leaders (both
lay and vocational) in developing countries and assist them through
teaching, mentoring, counseling, and simply sharing life together.
Ditmar graduated with a Doctor of Ministry degree and Maura received
an M.A. degree in Christian Education, both with an emphasis on
Leadership Development. Since 2002, the couple has been ministering
in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Besides holding leadership positions in
the local church as pastor and women's ministry leader, respectively,
Ditmar and Maura have been instrumental in designing and developing
the curriculum for the seminary of the Evangelical Free Church
Convention in Brazil.
Our
Passion...
…is to support the local church in its equipping role of
bringing all believers to maturity and many to leadership for
Christ’s mission of multiplying churches worldwide to God’s
glory.
“It was he who gave some…to prepare God’s
people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge
of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure
of the fullness of Christ.” –Ephesians 4:11-13
Our
Vision...
…is to awaken the Brazilian church to a
balanced, healthy growth through whole-life equipping of leadership
in the context of the local church.
