From First-Time Visitor to Israel Advocate: Building Christian-Jewish Solidarity in Brazil, with Marcos Silveira

33:46 Min. Listen

October 18, 2026

What happens when a Christian leader who has never visited Israel suddenly finds himself leading a movement to strengthen Christian-Jewish relations across Brazil?

This week, Pastor Doug Reed sits down with Marcos Silveira, director of Eagles’ Wings Brazil, whose remarkable journey took him from knowing relatively little about Israel to visiting twice in just a few weeks, including leading a delegation of 35 influential Brazilian pastors and Christian leaders.

Marcos shares how his experiences at the Western Wall, a Jewish family’s Shabbat table, and Yad Vashem transformed his understanding of Israel and the Jewish people. He also discusses the challenge of confronting antisemitism, overcoming misconceptions about Jewish history, and turning emotional encounters into lasting commitments.

With millions of social media views and growing connections across Brazil’s Christian communities, Marcos is helping inspire a new generation of leaders to stand with Israel and the Jewish people. Join Doug for a conversation about faith, friendship, and the power of personal encounters to build bridges between Christians and Jews.
