Bio: Joseph and Jean Collins served six and one-half years as AIMers before receiving their missionary appointment to Mexico in September 1996. While AIMers in Mexico, they started three churches, helped in the Bible schools, and helped the other missionaries while pastoring a Spanish-speaking work in Laredo, Texas. In 1999, the Collinses moved to Zacatecas, Mexico, and began the first church in that city and became the supervisor over the Zac-Aguas District. When they furloughed in August 2002, they had a church of over 95 faithful members that they turned to Gerardo Aranda. Now that church has 110 members. The Collinses returned to the field in August 2003 but transferred to Portugal in mid-2004. They live in Lisbon, and he is the sub-director of all the Bible schools in Portugal.

Slightly smaller than Indiana, the Portuguese Republic occupies the western portion of the Iberian Peninsula. The nation’s once extensive overseas possessions are now reduced to Macao, the oldest European outpost in China; the Azores, islands about 1,000 miles off Portugal’s coast; and Madeira, an island about 535 miles southwest of Portugal in the Atlantic. Joseph Domingues founded the United Pentecostal Church of Portugal in 1972. Often without a missionary to lead and guide it, the church now has 254 constituents, eight licensed ministers, and ten churches and preaching points.
