Jonathan and Patty Hutchins are missionaries serving in Porto Alegre, Brazil since 2004. They are sent out of the Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, NH together with Baptist World Mission. Their mission is to glorify God by loving Him, proclaming the gospel of Jesus Christ, and making disciples in all nations.
Nice pic, nice blog.
Jon and Patty,
I really like your website. We at Calvary Baptist in Huntsville, AL will be praying for your safe return to Brazil. What an honor to serve the majestic Creator-God of the universe. Dr. Bob Jones, Sr used to tell us that “the test of our character is what it takes to stop us.” Souls for Jesus is our battle cry!
In Christ,
Bob and Chris Orr

Praise God for people such as you who have decided to follow God’s call and go and preach the Gospel to the people of Brazil. Thank you for you continued efforts in serving our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will be praying for you all.
In Christ

Hi Jon and Patty,
My name is Brad, and I am a missionary in a sensitive part of S. America (will leave out precise details for security reasons). Have heard several versions of the story of what happened to the Greenwoods floating around email land, so was wondering if you could confirm some details for me? Do you know if they were actually deported back to the USA? And do you happen to know the charges that were levelled against them? I also heard a rumor that the govt. said they didn’t have the right type of visa to minister there? Can you confirm that?
Thanks so much for your help.
In Christ,
Brad
Hey! Long time no chat my friend. Praise God that everything worked out well for the Greenwoods. I got the email to go through for you, you should get it today.
Have a great Sunday, Im off to play with the munchkins…

Thank you for this website…I will pass this on to others. We are praying much for you here and do appreciate your faithfulness…as your Father always said…”we are called to be faithful”. I thank God for his wisdom and leadership and for Sam Martinez (your father Patty) and his heart for the Lord and missions. I believe they are both looking over the ramparts of Heaven and saying, “we are with you Patty and Jon.”
Love your Mother and Daniel
My wife was googleing my name, not sure why, you guys came up. Thought I might be able to help some, maybe.
Espero que falam portuguese, bem, eu servi uma missiao para a igreja de jesus cristo dos santos dos ultimos dias por dois anos na zona sul de porto alegre, Monte Cristo em Cavalhada, Restinga, Guiaba, Rio Grande(Parque Marinha), e Pelotas(Tres Vendas) foram meus areas. Eu sei que a igreja nao e a mesmo mas ainda assim e legal. O que eu quero dizer e que talvez voces podem usar uma das capelas SUD para suas servicos. Eu acho que a missao norte de porto alegre se mudarm o escritorio mas a missao sul deve ainda estar na capela na esquina de Princesa Isabela e acho que e joao pessoa, tem as palmas na meio da rua, todos os onibuses vai por ai. J. Douglas Whisenant e o presidente da missao norte, ou podem falar com o pessoal da missao sul, a estaca moinhos de ventos e em o missao sul mas tem muitos capelas na zona norte da cidade. Bem, provavelmente vai ter que falar que um presidente de estaca tambem. Espero que eles podem adjudar na procura de um lugar para voces, nas estados unidos sei que a igreja tem feito assim muitos vezes.
On a tottally unrelated note to brasil or meeting places, do you know where your hutchins line is from? my grandfather wrote quite a few books on the hutchins line in america and I am just wondering where you fit in.
Good luck on getting your name pronounced right, ratinho was one of my favorites in terms of nick names based on the last name.
Hope that helps.
John

May our Lord Jesus bless what you set your hands to and cause it to prosper.

Dear Pastor and Mrs. Hutchins,
Hello. My name is Charlie Salcedo. You do not know me nor have you met me before. I learned of your website and missionary service through a mutual friend-Tatiana Cordeiro. The reason for my writing you is that I learned from Tati that your wife is Colombian. I am as well (actually I was born in Ft. Lauderdale and raised in Miami, FL-my parents are the real Colombians). I was wondering if you have any contacts of fellow missionaries, be they nationals (Brasilian or otherwise), that are serving in the country of Colombia. I’m particularly looking for anyone in the coastal city of Barranquilla, in the interior town of Bucaramanga, and the river town of Barrancabermeja. I don’t know if y’all would know anyone in any of those towns or not. If you do, I would greatly appreciate their contact information. If you don’t but happen to have contact information for a missionary to Colombia, be they national (Brasilian or otherwise), I would greatly appreciate that as well. My contact information is listed on your leave a comment form.
Additionally, I was wondering if you audio record any of your sermons. I’ve searched your site and found printed sermons in pdf format. Those are very helpful. The reason for my asking is that I’m slowly learning Portuguese and having audio recordings to which to listen are helpful. I do listen to BBN and that aids, but I am desiring to expand my expressiveness and having a variety of speakers to which to listen is helpful. Thank you for your time Sir.
sincerely,
Charlie A. Salcedo Acts20:21
Hi Jon and Patty,

We have chosen you to be are Missionary family. We will be praying for you specifically this week and were wondering if you have any special prayer needs that we could share with the children on Wednesday.
May the Lord continue to bless your ministry.

Hi Jon & Patty …
You may not remember me, but I go to Heritage FWB in Laconia, NH. I’ve been wanting to contact you for a while, but I seem to have an outdated email address for you.
I just want you to know that I’m praying for you, and would love to be kept up-to-date on your needs, activities, etc.
Please email me back with your current email address when you get a chance.
In the meantime, I’ll be praying for God’s will to be done in Brazil!
May He continue to bless you and grow you!
Deb
