Get to Know the Viola Family

Ministry Description

Our work at PV Norte - Pará consists of serving at Ministry with Families. In order to see the next generation giving their next step with Christ based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ we understand that strong families are essential for strong churches and transformed communities. Many parents need biblical encouragement and practical guidance to embrace their God-given calling to lead their homes, disciple their children, and model a Christ-centered life;

We want to be facilitators and servants who help the local churches in their specific needs to plan with clarity and purpose; to be a training platform equipping leaders and families to grow and create easy, useful tools for everyday ministry.

About Fabio

Viola Family

Fábio
Ever since I was a child, I've had many dreams and one of them was to serve people. My desire was to join the air force and become an airline pilot and join the Red Cross and help people in times of distress and catastrophe, but the pressure to live a life according to the world's standards and be financially successful weighed heavily on me. I decided to pursue a career in a multinational company, go to university and follow the path of "success". In 2004, I realized that none of it was fulfilling; the further I went, the emptier I felt. That's when I was reached by God’s immense grace and realized how sinful I was and how much I needed him. I made the decision to serve Him with my life in missions. I dropped everything I was doing to follow the path of faith. By the grace of God, that’s what I am now doing. I am still under construction but have a hunger to know Christ and make Him known. Today, my mission, together with my family, is to glorify God through serving through missionary work in the world, supporting the local church, contributing to the expansion of the Kingdom, and using our gifts and talents as a tool share Christ.

I was born and raised in a Catholic home, but I didn't follow religion. My choices were based on my will, which led me down paths that took me further and further away from God. At the age of twenty, when I was in my second year of university, my life was transformed by Christ and this changed all my plans. I finished university, but I knew that my previous goals were not part of the Lord's plans for me. My involvement with the local church grew and I realized more and more that I had to dedicate my whole life to Christ. When at a mission’s school in 2006, I had the opportunity to serve in some countries such as Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. It was an incredible experience that made me certain of my calling and since then I have been living full time for God. In 2007 Fabio and I were married and together we served for six years with a missionary organization in southern Brazil. We then left to help plant Calvary Chapel church in the community where we served and stayed until 2016. When we realized we should dedicate time to studying the Word of God, we went to the Word of Life Bible Institute North in Brazil. After finishing, we took some time to serve our local church and pray about the next step. In order to acquire more tools for children's ministry and also to serve in the city's Municipal Hospital, I took the opportunity to take the CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES course from CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship. During this period, we were challenged to pray and consider serving at Palavra da Vida Portugal (PV). We then joined the team in 2020 - June of 2025.

''Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.''Col. 3.16,17 KJV
