The Lasting Legacy of “Seu Tomé”
My first encounter with Tom Willson was in 1989, in a missionary prayer meeting in Juazeiro do Norte, CE, Brazil. I was a skinny 17 year-old kid, and Tom was a veteran missionary. After a devotional and a time of prayer, Tom took me aside and gave me a quick overview of the Juazeiro’s culture…
Youth Rally in São Luís
One of the most frustrating aspects of furlough is being “away from the action”, so to speak. We see things going on in Brazil, and want to be in the middle of it. Having said that, it is at the same time extremely gratifying to see God continue to bless the work there. These are…

In a previous article I wrote about the massive protests on Sunday in response to the corruption of Brazil’s ruling political party (the PT). It should be noted that many of the protesters…
The Further Adventures of Missionary Max: Claridad (sample section)
A sample section of Missionary Max and the Lost City. * * * The helicopter touched down, the rotors slowed to a stop, and the hydraulic doors opened with a hiss. Even though he was blindfolded, Cascavel knew exactly where he was. The stench that emanated from the Cabrito Federal Corrections Facility made Cascavel want…
A Day of Protest in Brazil
A week ago I wrote briefly about the current political climate in Brazil. Today protesters took to the streets in record-setting numbers to demand the ouster of current president Dilma Rousseff, and the arrest of former president Luís Inácio “Lula” da Silva. In the past, the PT (the ruling, leftist, Workers Party) has been able…
One Year…
Two tragedies mark our last five years, one at the beginning, and one at the end. The first was the murder of our friend and co-worker Francisco Bezerra. The second was the sudden death of friend and church-member Athyla Gabrielle in a motorcycle accident. That tragedy took place one year ago today. There is no…
