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.
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…
Things are happening fast now at camp. Last Friday we took some more supplies and construction materials there, and spend two days doing more work. Here are some of the pictures. On Saturday the water tank we purchased arrived at camp. The builders are installing it as you read this. Stay tuned next week for…

Last week we posted a special appeal, asking people to pray for God’s provision for the completion of our camp dormitories. That appeal went out on Wednesday. And people began to pray. How do I know this? Because of what happened on Friday. First…a little background. Normally on Friday Itacyara and I would be at…
We posted the following video on Facebook at the beginning of the week, but we wanted to post it here with a more detailed explanation. As we began our building project in the beginning of the year, several factors contributed to make the process more expensive: 1) The dollar took a dive in value against…
Last week the First Regular Baptist Church in São Luís held their annual retreat at the Mount Zion Baptist Camp. Though we were disappointed that the dorms were not yet finished, the event was a smashing success. We had between thirty and forty campers at the event. There is another church retreat scheduled for the…
The construction on the dormitory is moving ahead…slowly but surely. We had hoped to have the entire complex ready for a retreat that is being held there this week. Unfortunately, that did not happen. We did, however, manage to complete five of the six rooms, installing the windows, doors, electricity, and (most importantly) hammock hooks,…
Over the years I have told anybody who would listen that my wife, Itacyara, is an essential part of what we do here in Brazil. Actually, that phrase – “an essential part” – doesn’t adequately express what I mean. She is the glue that holds everything together, the key to any success we may have,…
A few days ago I was checking my messages at camp after a long day of work, and I found a text from Ricky Gantz, of the G220 Radio podcast. It seems Mr. Gantz had chanced upon the Missionary Max books in a thrift store, and they had piqued his curiosity. He asked me to…
