in 2012 God provided us with property for the development of a Christian camp. The Mount Zion Regular Baptist Camp is located roughly two hours from São Luís, near the city of Morros. We are excited about the potential impact of this ministry.
Today and tomorrow I am at the camp property with Pastor Francivaldo to check up on construction, purchase more materials, and pay workers. After our wildly successful work day on the first of this month, we faced two major hurdles: the truckers’ strike effectively killed our plans for a second work day, and several of…
We have some up-to-the-minute pictures from the camp construction project to show you. These show the sinks, toilets, piping, and wiring being installed in the bathrooms.

Upon our arrival, we discovered that there are a couple issues with the electrical power at the camp. First, the transformer that serves the camp property is…
These are pictures of the construction of our camp bathroom…the first building to be built on the camp property. I will keep adding pictures until the project is completed, so keep checking back for updates!
The following is an adaptation of a report I posted to Facebook. I have updated it and modified it to fit the blog format. We arrived at camp on Friday afternoon and set about contracting workers for the various jobs that need to be done. As we were pulling out of the home of the last…
Thanks to a generous donation, work at the Mount Zion Regular Baptist Camp has begun once again. Together with Michael and Francielio (a young man from the Ebenézer church) I spent last weekend cutting the weeds that had grown up in front of our property, and contracting workers for the next steps of the construction….
After over four years of dreams, planning, work, delays, setbacks, and a lot more work, we were finally able to achieve a significant milestone in the Mount Zion camp project: the very first church activity on the premises.
