What follows are a couple pictures of Michael’s and my promise ceremony with the Brazilian Scouts. Back when we started participating in the scouting program I decided that it would be something…
Our last activity with the Kerigma youth group was a luau on one of Sao Luis’ spectacular beaches. While it was bittersweet, due to our impending departure, the ambiance was relaxing and therapeutic. Here is a picture of Itacyara and I with our outstanding group of teens: More pictures here. The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary…
The past couple of weeks saw two new reviews of The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max hit cyberspace.
