Equipping Biblical Counselors Internationally

Bob Kellemen |

Dr. Alexandre Sacha Mendes is a Faith Bible Seminary M.Div. grad (2010) who recently earned his D.Min. in Expository Preaching from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Pastor Sacha’s D.Min. project focused on equipping Brazilian pastors to preach Christ from the Proverbs.

Dr. Mendes was part of FBS’ first M.Div. cohort (2007-2010). Upon graduation from FBS, Sacha was hired as an Associate Pastor at Maranatha Baptist Church in São José dos Campos, Brazil. On February 24, 2019, Pastor Mendes was installed as Sr. Pastor at this church where he has served for nearly a decade. 

“Sacha” as he likes to be called, recently joined Curtis Solomon, the Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, in a video interview as part of the BCC’s 15:14 interview series. Sacha is the first international member of the Board of Directors for the Biblical Counseling Coalition. He lives in San Jose Dos Compos, Brazil, where he serves as one of the pastors of Maranatha Baptist Church. Additionally, Sacha leads the Brazilian Association of Biblical Counselors.
