Going through some archived pictures on my laptop I came across these taken by my Mom while she visited here two years ago. This is actually a fairly common sight here. Back when I had a pickup I would often look in my rear view mirror to find a cyclist hanging on to the tailgate….
This morning I was invited by the owners of a local English school–called “Whizz”–to give a talk on Thanksgiving. Of course this is a great opportunity to talk about the faith of the Pilgrims, which just happens to be our faith as well. There was a fringe benefit for Mikey, as the event was held…
As I have mentioned before, our son Mikey is turning into a real nature photographer. Here are some of the pictures he has taken recently, along with the “scientific names” of the animals. ___________________________ Did you enjoy this post?

Our son Michael, who is a budding zoologist, has been thrilled with the monkeys that inhabit our backyard. He has been slowly making friends with them, and the photographing them. Here are some of the recent pictures he took: ____________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider making a donation to our ministry in Brazil. As…
This morning the Amiguinhos de Jesus puppet team went to the Philadelphia (as in “brotherly love”, not theUS city, home of the World Series runners-up) Baptist Church. There we gave our last “performance” of the year. Here are some pictures: ____________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider making a donation to our ministry in Brazil….
Our 2009 Seminary Banquet was a smashing success. The junior class outdid themselves in preparing and organizing the event, and the results were spectacular. It also served as a “breather” for Itá and I, offering us the chance to relax a bit and fellowship with friends. I did not get too many pictures, but the…
As we have done every year since our arrival in Brazil, we participated last week in the Evangelism Outreach to the Romeiros. This ministry is aimed at evangelizing one of the most difficult demographics in Brazil–religious pilgrims who have traveled many miles to worship Padre Cícero. As always, I was in charge of the puppet…
Last week I had the privilege of attending the Fiel Conference, hosted in Aguas de Lindóia, São Paulo by Christian publisher Editora Fiel. Along with top-notch Brazilian expositors, this year’s conference was blessed with the presence of Mark Dever and D.A. Carson. Their preaching on the subject of Justification by Faith was simply outstanding, and,…
Dear US Pastor, The next time you are tempted to turn down a request for a meeting from some poor missionary appointee to Brazil with the comment that “Brazil is pretty much evangelized”, please check out this article. Brazil is indeed becoming more “evangelical” as opposed to Roman Catholic, but, as you can see from…
Palestina is an out of the way village about three hours from here, where a national missionary–Djalma–is putting blood, sweat, and tears into a church plant. Our seminary puppet team was privileged to be able to lend him a hand last weekend. We were able to canvas the city, inviting kids to a childrens’ program….
