Close Encounters of the Slithery Kind
We don’t always encounter snakes on our way to prayer meeting, but when we do, well…watch.
Conference Moments
In the previous post I mentioned a conference we attended last month. My friend Daniel took some amazing pictures of the event. Some of them were begging for a caption, so I produced this. To understand some of the captions, you should probably understand that the theme of the week was “Regular Baptist Dispensationalism”.
Travelogue: Ceará or Bust
Last month I took a trip to Ceará to attend a conference. The trip is 16 hours long, so I took the GoPro along to pass the time. This playlist is all the videos I took of the trip, in order.
The Ebenezer Ministry Team
One of the greatest blessings I have received in recent years is the privilege of working at the Ebenezer church plant. And one of the reasons it is so “insanely great” is that I get to work with these guys – the deacons and pastoral team. As you pray for our ministry, please pray specifically…

This, of course, is in response to the massive disintegration of family life here (something our US brethren know all about, as well). This year I was invited to speak at…
Contemple a Deus (Behold Our God)
While in the US last year, we were introduced to this beautiful song. At first we could not find it in Portuguese. Finally we found a version, and last night Itacyara sang it with the music team at the Boas Novas Baptist Church.
When the Coach Takes the MVP Out of the Game
“What are you thinking, coach?” What sports fan has never found himself hollering those words at the TV as they helplessly watch the coach of their favorite team remove the star player from the game? What soccer mom has never screamed those words at the youth-league coach as the best kid (usually her kid) is…
