Agape Portugal’s staff live and work according to the example of Jesus, following the motto “live to serve, not just to be served”. They actively serve university students, so that every student knows somebody who follows Jesus.
A focus on helping the needy offers young people opportunities to meet the practical needs of others in their communities while acting as positive role-models.
Agape Portugal was established as a Christian association in 1975.
