The dream
God came to Yara and placed a blue gift in her hands. She opened the box — and out of it came nations, many nations. Then came the question: “Ask Ricardo if he wants East of Europe.”

The ministry
Why East of Europe
“My name is Ricardo Duarte and I am from Portugal.” For many years he has pursued one thing: revival. Going to the nations, carrying the fire of God back to his own, raising up movements — always with the same focus, the reviving work of the Holy Spirit.
The answer
“I accept the challenge. I will go to East of Europe.” Family, finances, whatever it takes — laid down not for self, but to serve, in love, in honour, and in obedience to the Lord.
The promise
An ocean without limit. That water is the water of the Holy Spirit, and it will reach every single nation of East of Europe. The fire will fall, and East of Europe will come to Christ.
No one does great things alone.
Apostle Ricardo Duarte
So this is an invitation, not an announcement. Open the doors. Walk in unity. Work together so that the Kingdom of God advances across every nation of the East.
“I am not going there to serve myself. I am going there to serve you.”
Our leaders
Ricardo & Yara Duarte
A couple who long for revival and give themselves to seeking it — believing in a Church that will burn, and shake the nations.
They are young, and they carry a specific vision for the next ten years: to raise up a generation with no face, but with a transforming voice. Together they founded Release the Fire Ministries and the United Conference.
They have travelled through many countries to learn and to seek more of God, always with the same focus — the great revival. They lived in New Jersey, in the United States, for a Bible course (FITS), and completed a year at Rhema Bible Training School in Lisbon.
