The Puppetry Must Go On!

ByAndrew

Since we moved to São Luís, our own involvement in puppet ministry has all but come to an end. We have put on a couple programs for VBS, but other than that, our foam friends are enjoying somewhat of an extended sabbatical.
On the other hand, Cicero and Nice Braga–our former partners in puppet-crime–continue to take the puppet work forward.
I just got this video of Nice giving a puppet tutorial, and thought I would share it for all of you who miss the occasional puppet-related posting.

Congratulations Nice!

Rather, I have a growing archive, and the challenge is deciding which one to feature next. Seriously. So today I decided to go with this one. In it, a…

Missionaries or Yankee Imperialists?

ByAndrew

Missionaries who leave their homeland to work in another country almost always carry with them political baggage. They will be asked to explain or justify the actions of the leaders of their nation of origin. And this is not limited to current events. I still get asked why the US found it necessary to bomb…

Redefining Jesus, Brazilian Style

ByAndrew

One of the clearest indications of exactly who Jesus is and what He represents is the near obsessive interest that different groups have in redefining Him to fit their own parameters. Over at our sister site, we recently reported on one of the more egregious attempts at re-definition that happened here in Brazil. The following…

This morning I came across this ad from World War Two days, touting the number of countries that trained their pilots in the “Texan” airplanes manufactured by the North American Aviation Inc. Curious, I amplified the picture to see if Brazil was listed. Sure enough, there it is, third from the top on the left-hand…
