Last month the Mount Zion Baptist Camp held it’s third annual Teen Retreat, and it was awesome. With each passing year we gain more experience, the program gets better, and enthusiasm for the ministry among our churches and young people grows.
This year our theme was “Challenges for Young People in Post Modernity”. We were blessed by the preaching of Pedro Henrique, an up-and-coming Bible College student. His preaching and personal testimony made an impact on the lives of our campers.
Here are some pictures of the event:

I just returned from a very productive day spent in Morros, overseeing the progress of on the construction of the camp kitchen. Overall I’m very pleased with the results. As you can see from the pictures, the wall has been raised up to the second “belt”, and the walls for the middle room – which…
