About Us

Chuck Love, Senior Pastor
Pine Valley Baptist Church
Wilmington, NC

As a college student in 1987, I took a short-term mission trip to Brazil with a mission team from First Baptist Atlanta. The experience changed my life and started me on an exciting adventure of service to Christ.  During the day, our team did dramas in the town squares, sang in schools, and invited people to our nightly crusades in churches which were always filled to overflowing.

Our mission team was overwhelmed by the warmth and excitement of the Brazilian culture. We encountered a humility, sincerity, and hunger for the Gospel unlike anything we had seen in the US. We could feel God at work in us and through us as lost people were saved and Christians welcomed us as brothers.

Since that first trip, I have returned to Brazil dozens of times developing relationships, preaching in churches, and exploring -- once I backpacked across 5 South American countries from Caracas to Buenos Aires.  The Lord blessed me with a beautiful Christian wife, Raquel, and opened many doors for us to take the Good News across cultural barriers.  We invite others to join us on this adventure.

During our mission trips, we are blessed to see scores of people saved each day.  Our partner churches and Brazilian team members have been continuing the work and are awaiting our return this summer.  We would love for you to be a part of our mission team, because I know God will greatly use you, and it will be a turning point in your life.  Feel free to contact me with any questions: 910-599-7165 or at pastor@pinevalleybc.org.

I would love for you to come and see my country and experience my culture. Brazilians are very loving, hospitable, and festive. They love to talk, make friends, and interact with other cultures. You will feel love from people of all ages.

Christians in Brazil are excited about the Lord. If you are the type of person that wants to see God at work, you will love this mission trip. You will see entire families come to Christ.
