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.
We are currently in the city of Fortaleza at a conference, but the camp construction work continues. While en route between São Luís and Fortaleza, I received these pictures showing the latest progress. The links below are affiliate links.

We took a quick trip to camp today to pay some bills and check up on the progress. Heavy rains have made for slow-going, but things continue to move forward. In these pictures you can see the columns being put in place in the pavilion, as well as some of the fill being laid down….
…but not the last! We have another one scheduled for May 31st. As for this work day, we focused on clearing out the area of the creek that will be our swimming hole, cutting out weeds and small trees, and pulling sludge from the bottom.

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. The property was purchased back in 2012 with the intent of being a resource for our Regular…

First off, there has been a fresh flurry of construction and maintenance. Having received several offerings for the project, we began to invest some serious time in the development of…

This event combined the efforts of folks from the First Regular Baptist Church and the Good News Regular Baptist Church in Turu.
