While construction on our camp dorms is ongoing, there are other things happening at camp as well. Most recently, we were privileged to have friends from the US Daniel and Shanna Felice and Marcos Davila visiting us here in Brazil. While here, they put together a set of Cornhole boards and a carpet ball table….
Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan So far, “Lord of Chaos”, the sixth in Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time” series, is my favorite. It is more action-packed than the books I have read, and the character development takes a much more satisfying track. Slight spoiler alert… If you, like me, have been reading so far…
The following are some items that we hope to acquire for the camp in the months to come. If you are interested in helping us with any of these projects, this page explains how to make donations. These items are listed more or less in order of urgency. All price tags are approximations, and subject…

Due to our transition from the US to Brazil and everything that involves, March is the first month I have been able to post book reviews. Beyond Order, Twelve More Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson One could see “Beyond Order, Twelve More Rules for Life” as simply a continuation of Jordan Peterson’s first book,…
Since 2015 Alex, Liang, and their family have been an integral part of the Ebenezer congregation. We have watched them grow, serve, handle extreme difficulties, and minister to others. Alex is a gifted teacher of the word, and has constantly been deepening his theological education over the years through correspondence seminary courses. For the above…
Seriously…just don’t. Oops! pic.twitter.com/A6W7JxPcUs — Roger Rocha Moreira (@roxmo) March 22, 2022 Yet another blow to the “gun ownership doesn’t prevent crime” argument.
