A Christian care network in development

No one should face pain alone.

INAC is forming a network of churches and volunteers to offer a listening ear, guidance, and spiritual support to people going through difficult times. We especially want to reach those without a church, a counselor, or someone they trust to turn to.

Care for everyone, regardless of belief

What INAC is

A foundation for care that continues.

The Instituto Nacional de Acolhimento Cristão — INAC is undergoing institutional reorganization. Its proposal is to bring churches, leaders, and volunteers into a care network grounded in the Christian faith and open to everyone.

We especially want to reach people going through a difficult time who have no faith community or trusted person to turn to.

INAC organizes the institutional foundation; PNAC develops principles, training, and protocols; and AMIC is the digital tool being tested to help people access and connect with the network.

The support network is not yet open to the public. We are preparing governance, training, and safety before operations begin.

Institutional identity

Our purpose, mission, and vision

Our purpose

Turn the love of Christ into tangible care, connecting people, churches, and volunteers in a network of hope, support, and transformed lives.

Our mission

Welcome people facing emotional suffering, family conflicts, dependencies, and other vulnerabilities, offering human, compassionate, and spiritual support grounded in biblical principles and the love of Christ.

Through listening, guidance, follow-up, and responsible referrals, we seek to nurture hope, strengthen relationships, and offer new perspectives on life, sharing the message of the Gospel with respect for each person's freedom and dignity.

Our commitment is to welcome everyone, regardless of belief, without making help conditional on religious participation.

Our vision

Develop and consolidate an interdenominational model of Christian care that brings churches and communities together around shared principles, methods, and protocols for outreach, support, guidance, evangelism, and follow-up.

We want this model to become a practical reference for churches of different denominations, respecting their doctrinal identities and autonomy while combining volunteer training, pastoral cooperation, and technology to broaden the reach of care.

One network, three roles

How INAC, PNAC, and AMIC fit together

Each part has a role in building care that is prepared, responsible, and accessible.

01 / INAC

Institutional foundation

Organizes governance, partnerships, and support for the network. Its legal reorganization is in progress.

02 / PNAC

Training and protocols

Develops principles, training, participation criteria, and safety guidelines through pastoral cooperation.

03 / AMIC

Digital access

A platform being tested to connect requests for care with prepared volunteers and churches.

AMIC · Amigos de Cristo

MVP in controlled testing

Amigos de Cristo

AMIC is the digital tool planned to help people request care and connect with participating volunteers and churches. The web MVP has undergone tests of approximate location, connection, and chat.

You can already see the home page being developed on the Amigos de Cristo website.

Accessible support, free for users.
Volunteer participation with guidance and supervision.
Respect for privacy and the boundaries of each interaction.

The support network is not yet available to the public. Training, protocols, and safety flows remain in development and validation.

Training and governance in development

PNAC

The Protocolo Nacional de Acolhimento Cristão — PNAC brings together guidelines being developed for volunteer training, cooperation among churches, and safe care.

The first training courses are already in development. Several churches have expressed interest in learning about the project, and one is helping develop the materials.

The proposed pastoral council and participation criteria will be developed with churches, respecting each community's autonomy.
