How UNIMIL Was Born?

Unimil was born from a meeting of two people from different continents who shared the same dream. In 2007, during a bitter February winter in the town of Lynn, Massachusetts, God had a special agenda to start a new chapter in our lives.

I am Pastor Estefson Silveira, born in Brazil, serving the Lord Jesus Christ for 38 years and growing more passionate about the lives lost and the cause of the most needy. Married to Fabricia Silveira, father of five children—Emanuel, Samuel, Stefany, Grace, and Joshua, who had not yet been born when Unimil started. Born again in Christ Jesus in the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, where I had the foundations and the Faith strengthened for 11 years serving the Lord. In 1996, I moved to the United States of America, serving the Lord in the Assemblies of God, involved with the mission of the church until 2001. From 2001 to 2007, I served the Shalom Baptist Community of Boston, where I completed my theology degree and was ordained a pastor in 2007. From this year onward, we began to get involved with the missionary project in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. Since then, we have served the African continent in countries such as Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, and Congo. Today, we have two secondary schools in Zambia serving more than 500 children. Our dream is very small compared to God’s dreams. During this period, God has raised up families, self-employed entrepreneurs, pastors, and churches to sustain Unimil’s ministry. The mission embraces all who defend our moral and spiritual values, always valuing the neighbor who needs it most. This is why we have been operating on the African continent since 2007.

Voltando ao encontro incomum do inverno de 2007 no estado de Massachusetts, Deus trouxe do Congo uma pessoa que hoje é mais do que um amigo, mas um verdadeiro irmão, meu irmão gêmeo, Pastor Allan Ilunga. Quando nos encontramos pela primeira vez, ele era casado com Delphina Ilunga e tinham apenas um bebê de seis meses – o pequeno Adam, que hoje é um jovem de 16 anos. Atualmente, ele é pai de cinco filhos: Adam, Alex, Abel, Allan Jr. e Abigail. Durante esse período, Deus também nos deu Grace e Joshua. Em 16 anos, Deus nos deu uma grande família no Congo e na Zâmbia.

Existem milhares de pastores servindo ao Senhor, milhares de famílias transformadas pelo poder do evangelho e milhares de crianças recebendo uma boa educação e os princípios do reino de Deus. O Pastor Allan agora mora na Zâmbia e é o Presidente da Unimil no continente africano. Eu moro no estado da Carolina do Sul, EUA, pastoreando a Igreja Life for the Nations, e sou o Presidente da Unimil nos EUA. Nosso trabalho é fornecer apoio espiritual, emocional e financeiro aos projetos da Unimil no continente africano. Continuamos a sonhar grandes coisas para os projetos que a Unimil apoia. Além das escolas UBUMI em Kitwe e da escola em Musenga, temos vários projetos, como Naomi Cuidando de Viúvas, Bíblia para a África, Água que Transforma Vidas e vários outros projetos sociais nesses dois países. Sabemos que os sonhos de Deus são maiores, Ele sempre nos surpreenderá, e esperamos que você, que chegou até aqui, seja uma boa surpresa de Deus para a família UNIMIL.

No grande amor de Jesus Cristo.

Who Are We?

A UNIMIL – Missão Unida Pela Vida, é uma organização missionária internacional e não denominacional, fundada em 2007 em Boston, MA, EUA, pelos Pastores Estefson Silveira e Allan Ilunga, ambos apaixonados por missões e almas perdidas. A Unimil nasceu com a visão da UNIDADE, e nosso objetivo é promover apoio à igreja no continente africano em sua tarefa de evangelização e transformação social, unindo-se a ela no mesmo propósito: alcançar os perdidos.

Acreditamos que a igreja é a agência de Deus na terra, e é através dela que a sociedade terá a oportunidade de experimentar uma transformação verdadeira e saudável, recebendo uma contribuição significativa para se tornar relevante em resposta às necessidades das pessoas. Como organização, buscamos uma abordagem holística para o desenvolvimento comunitário, auxiliando na transformação das pessoas com base nos três pilares principais da existência humana: Espiritual, Social e Econômico.

VISION

To identify localities and communities with the greatest need for the Gospel on the African continent and anywhere else in the world and to work together with brothers of all denominations to meet their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs, providing comprehensive assistance in the areas of Health, Education, and Community Development. With an inclusive vision, we believe that the Body of Christ must work in unity with the goal of expanding the kingdom of God throughout the earth, according to Jesus’ command given in his Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

VALUES

We believe in the strength and power of UNITY, and for this, we work cohesively so that the common interests of the Gospel are always above human, denominational, or personal ideologies with the sole objective:

To Bring the Gospel, Baptize, Disciple, and Equip Leaders among all peoples, races, tribes, and nations, also serving the most needy such as widows and orphans.

EDUCATION

EDUCATION

Through donations, we can raise funds to provide a better space and system for African children and teens to study and create a sustainable future for their lives and careers. Our volunteers build schools and make them safe spaces to help these children find their way in life.

LEISURE

LEISURE

We all deserve some time off from the world here and there. This is what we hope to impact on the communities we work on by granting them activities such as sports, readings, and cultural groups.

FAITH

FAITH

Faith brings us a sense of meaning and purpose, and that allows us to create a path that we can follow, a path that provides us with support and comfort. This is what we try to attain in these communities by building churches and evangelizing the people to seek a way where they can find connection and guidance.

ASSISTANCE

ASSISTANCE

The quality of life of the people in the communities we serve is a top priority for us. We understand that many people there lack access to basic necessities like food, clean water, healthcare, hygiene, and clothing. That’s why we work tirelessly to provide assistance and support in these critical areas and make one of our primary goals to ensure that every person in the communities we serve has access to anything they need to have good health and life.
