Brazil

Cypress has long been involved in the Brazilian missionary effort. Jay Ross, former member who grew up at Cypress worked for 10 years as Missionary Pastor in Brazil where two of his three children were born. After returning to the States he re-joined Cypress and began doing mission work in the Placerville area and two years later the Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church was established in Pollock Pines California. In 2009 Jay felt that God was calling him back to Brazil and resigned as pastor of Lighthouse to once again move to the mission field. His family, sharing his concern for Brazil decided to go and help with the work there and the Brazil Mission Team was formed. Jay and his wife Peggy were sponsored by the Hillcrest Baptist Church of Acworth, GA. Justin Ross and Thiago Nishakawa  were sponsored by Cypress as our Missionary helpers to Brazil. Justin Ross has since surrendered to the ministry and will be ordained by the Cypress Missionary Baptist Church as a Minister of the Gospel on June 5th 2011.
