FAQs

Brazil is home to millions of Christians who are eager to grow in their knowledge of God, their love for Scripture and their faithfulness in everyday discipleship. At the same time, many valuable ministry resources remain inaccessible simply because they have never been made available in Portuguese.

And the Lord has opened doors in Brazil in some unique ways. For years, Jimmy’s music ministry has had a strong following in Brazil. And now, we’ve connected with a ministry called Studio Tov through one of our Clearly Monthly Partners who lives in Brazil.

Studio Tov is a creative agency and strategic partner for Christian organizations and non-profits to effectively engage Brazilian Portuguese-speaking audiences. They believe high-quality, faith-based content should be accessible across language barriers, and they work to make that a reality through precise localization and purposeful production.

By integrating video, visual content, and digital strategy, they ensure the message is culturally relevant and technically excellent, delivering a clear, professional bridge to a global community.

They currently work with The Bible Project, Lectio 365, and more.

What’s amazing about this opportunity is that it doesn’t require much labor for Jimmy, Kelly, or the Clearly team. All the content is ready to go. We simply lack the funds to support the translation work. So here’s what is needed to get this Portuguese ministry up and running.

For the first 18 months, it will cost between $22,800–$33,600. Here’s how that cost is broken up:

• Phase 1 (months 1–7): $900–$1,400/month

• Phase 2 (months 8–18): $1,500–$2,000/month

Ongoing after that (Phase 3): $1,000–$2,500/month.

Yes! Clearly Ministries is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry that exists to help people engage with all of God’s Word. Any donation given to the general fund of Clearly in Portuguese fund is tax deductible.

• Translating content already produced by Jimmy and Kelly Needham

• Creating and managing social media channels in Portuguese

• Creating quality written, audio, and video content

Brazilian Christians are spiritually hungry but there is a lack of solid Christian resources. Ministries like Studio Tov want to see Christian voices platformed in their country that are biblically sound and point people back to the Word.

The hope is that this partnership will result in more Brazilian believers growing in their love for Christ and His Word through the availability of quality resources.
