Ezequias Santos
Pastor Santos is the founder of the New Hope Manchester Ministry. He and his wife Lindalva came from Brazil originally in 2006 to plant a Church for Portuguese speaking people. They have two teenagers, Gabriela and Rafael.
As a pioneer Pastor Santos faced many struggles but fortunately today, after 6 years of hard work the ministry has spread out to other parts of Northern England such as in Liverpool, Southport, Leeds and Wakefield.
One of Pastor Santos' natural gifts is to inspire the whole ministry with his passion and commitment.
