Donations
What kind of donations does the Apostolic Churches of Brazil accept?
We accept any type of donations that are useful on the missionary field. For example, used apostolic clothing items in good condition; used communication devices in working conditions (laptops, cell phones, microphones, etc.); reading materials for the missionary family; gospel singing Cds; Apostolic preaching Cds; etc.
We also accept monetary donations!
Can I send ANYTHING I wish to donate?
You can send ALMOST anything to Brazil. Most gifts are completely duty free. There are certain items, however, that are subject to Brazilian importation duty fees. When a gift item is subject to importation fees, the missionary must first pay the assessed tax BEFORE the post office releases the gift. At times, after adding up shipping fees to the importation tax, the “cost” becomes greater than the original value of the gift! In such cases it becomes cheaper donating the equivalent amount in money to buy the same item inside Brazil. Please write (jblambeth@gmail.com) or call (909-562-4083) to inquire about possible importation surcharges BEFORE sending the item.
How do I ship the items that I want to donate?
Before proceeding any further with your commendable project of donating to the Apostolic Churches of Brazil Missionary Endeavor, it is strongly suggested that you contact the Missionary Center for detailed shipping instructions. Each type of donation has a set of standard procedures to insure the success of the project. Please call the USA hotline for more information: (909) 562-4083
How shall I proceed to send a monetary gift to the missionary field of Brazil?
