I’ve always enjoyed August.

One of the great things about the Music Week we organized back in July is that it is a gift that keeps on giving. By that I mean that we continue to see positive repercussions of from it. In one of our sister churches, this has taken the form of a choir. At Ebenézer, we…

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…
