FEPAS is a national federation of Christian entities affiliated with CIBI — we are not an NGO, nor a church. We are the network that amplifies the social work of every local church that decides to put faith into practice.

Over forty years of coordinated work, we've become one of the few Christian social networks active across 100% of Brazil's regions. Thirty-seven federated entities, sixteen states, five regions — each with its own autonomy, all sharing a common methodology.

We don't believe in charity as a handout. We believe in local empowerment: the community diagnoses its own need, the local entity responds, and the federation provides methodology, legal support, training and access to partners.

Where vulnerability
strikes first,we're there too.

Founding text
Isaiah 58:6–7
The passage that has opened FEPAS's mission since 1986 — forty years later, it still guides us.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter — when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"
