Joe and Rachel Clarke are helping to lead a church plant in the centre of Coimbra.

Coimbra is a historical university city with tens of thousands of students, but the vast majority of people here are walking in darkness because they do not know the Lord Jesus. After much prayer, Comunidade da Graça officially launched in November 2023 and seeks to strengthen and equip followers of Jesus to know him better and live for him more as they seek to reach the lost for Christ.

They have also set up a charity called Associação Proclama, which strives to equip teachers and preachers in Portugal for gospel ministry. To support either the church plant or contribute to this training fund, click here.

Joe and Rachel have four children: Beth, Hannah, Josh and Tim.
