Continuing our special “Best of Brazil” series featuring some of the fascinating things we saw while traveling earlier this year, today we come to one of the biggest surprises of our trip. On the way to the city of Morretes, from whence we would eventually take a train ride (which will of course be featured…
As with the previous missions trip this year, we made sure to take the Open Bible group to the dunes. This time we went in the afternoon, so as to be able to catch the sunset. And it was spectacular. See for yourself. And here is a brief video taken with the drone brought by…
It’s not a surprise that I was only able to complete five books in the last three months. What is amazing is that I was able to complete ANY books in the absolute avalanche of activities that was last three months. So please join me in considering these a major accomplishment. Missions by the Book…
Our second missions team from the US this year was from Open Bible Baptist Church in Orange City, FL. Pastor Youmans and nine other people came down to partner with our church, Good News Baptist Church, in a Vacation Bible School.

One of my favorite parts of hosting missions trips is watching them interact with our Brazilian brothers and sisters in our local church. The Fellowship group fit right in and participated in two Sunday services, side by side with our church folks. ____________________ Did you enjoy this post?
