This interdenominational ministry focuses on missionary mobilization and prophetic worship, aiming to spread the Christian faith and facilitate humanitarian aid across Brazil and internationally. Robortella's work is characterized by a deep commitment to "real and genuine" evangelism, emphasizing practical action and attitude over mere words or songs. He believes in ministering to the whole person—spirit, soul, and body—integrating music, worship, and humanitarian assistance in his outreach efforts.

His musical career has produced several albums and collaborations, often featuring other well-known Brazilian gospel artists. Notable works include "Sou Peregrino," which addresses the transient nature of life and the need for spiritual dependence, and participation in the live album "Amigos Adoradores" alongside Fernandinho and Heloisa Rosa. Robortella has also been involved in impactful evangelistic events and missionary trips, including significant work in Haiti, where music is used as a tool to touch lives amidst humanitarian aid efforts. His ministry emphasizes a radical stance against sin and a call for the nation to return to God, advocating for a generation burning with passion for the Lord.

Robortella's influence extends beyond his own musical output; he is also a leader in raising and preparing future leaders through the "Escola do Clamor Pelas Nações" (School of Cry for the Nations). This initiative reflects his vision of empowering individuals to work towards global spiritual transformation. His approach to worship and missions is deeply intertwined, seeing them as two facets of the same divine calling. Through his leadership and music, Ricardo Robortella continues to inspire a movement focused on worship, intercession, and practical demonstration of faith, impacting countless lives within Brazil and beyond.
