Matt Reis
Matheus Reis is a PhD candidate in World Christianity at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. His research investigates the different ways in which Brazilian evangélicos in South Florida understand their identity and mission as an immigrant minority in the US, within their specific diasporic contexts.

His additional research interests are in Latinx Christianity in the United States; lived religious migrant experiences; religion and migration; the social responsibility of the gospel; misión integral; social justice, law, and Christianity; racial equity; and contextual theology.
