In this episode of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast, host Brian Kelly and co-host Daniel Williams sit down with Ricardo “Kaka” Monteiro, a church planter and pastor from Brazil. Kaka shares his compelling journey from São Paulo to pastoring a growing church in Curitiba, including how a word from the Lord during the pandemic launched him into leadership.
Kaka talks candidly about the decision to plant a second church in downtown Curitiba, the importance of raising up trusted leaders, and why he’s taking a sabbatical before launching again. The conversation touches on missionary life, parenting across cultures, and the strategic value of staying connected through conferences and online cohorts.
With laughter, honest insights, and a vision for multiplication, this episode highlights how God is at work in Brazil—and how rest, relationships, and a strong leadership team make long-term ministry sustainable.
