Daniel worked at The Message Trust in Manchester for over ten years, telling young people about Jesus through Brightline, while Emily taught in a local primary school in Stockport. They knew though that God was calling them for a new adventure, to serve Him in a different context. On the 4th of July 2023, they packed their bags and relocated to Rio de Janeiro to plant and lead The Message Brasil, to capture everything God has been doing throughout the world and contextualise it to Brazil.
Emily works as a local school teacher and Daniel is launching the first school mission around different schools in Rio as well as their first Eden Team in Brazil.
