Married for 18 years, Jose and Karla are the proud parents of three wonderful children: Amelia, Asher, and Alyssa, the triple A. Originally from Brazil, they have called Australia home for over two decades.
After sensing a clear calling from God, they returned to Canberra from Brisbane in 2020 and began attending GBC in 2022. They quickly found a home within the GBC community, drawn by its strong foundation in the Word of God and deep sense of family and belonging. Together, they actively serve in several ministries, including crèche, set-up, the creative team, and GBKs. They are always seeking new opportunities to serve and share the gospel, especially within multicultural communities.
As a family, they love spending time together—traveling, glamping, and cooking traditional Brazilian food to share with friends. Hospitality, joy, and faith are central to their lives as they seek to reflect Christ in everything they do.
