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.
Since the beginning of our work at Mount Zion Camp, the main gate of our property has been a source of irritation and frustration.

The last one of these we did was in December (I’m so ashamed), so we have some catching up to do. So here, without further ado, are some pictures that have been featured on our Instagram account over the past four months. ____________________ Did you enjoy this post?
