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.
It’s time for the latest pictures from our life and ministry here in Brazil. As always, you can see things as they happen by following our Instagram account. On Wednesday we went out with some friends to a restaurant that features displays of items “from days gone by”. Some of those days didn’t seem that…
As we reported earlier, we recently received funding to build a veranda on the front of our dormitory at camp. This will both improve the comfort level and make room for more campers. Last week Itacyara and I spent from Thursday to Saturday at camp. We worked on several projects, but mostly we oversaw the…
As the title suggests, we have a new project happening at camp, and we’re really excited to see this finally happen. Backstory Earlier this year we were made aware of a significant grant that had been made available to BMM missionaries for construction projects. We put in an application for funds to build a front…
One of the members of the team that visited us last month brought his drone with him, and took some excellent footage of the camp, which he then edited for this great promotional video. Not too long ago we had another drone flying over the camp. You can check out that video here, and perhaps…
Since the beginning of our work at Mount Zion Camp, the main gate of our property has been a source of irritation and frustration. Low on funds, investing in more vital aspects of the ministry, we were forced to settle for less-than-optimal solutions: first an unwieldy and insecure wooden gate, then an even more unwieldy…

As always, you can see these in “real time” on our Instagram feed. _________________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider making a donation to our ministry…
As is usual, we provide opportunities for our visiting teams to take a break from their work and see some of the amazing sights that surround us here in Brazil. Perhaps the most amazing of those sights in this region are the “Lençóis Maranhenses”, known to us as “The Dunes”. We’ve taken many groups to…

A few days ago I highlighted one of the ministries our Fellowship Baptist Church missions team had with us this year…namely, a couple major projects at camp. But that was not the only way they impacted our ministry while here. The team also hosted our second-ever English Day – and the first one held at…
Since last year we have been planning for the arrival of a large (nineteen people!) missions team from our sending church, Fellowship Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. Pastor Ryan and his team spent close to two weeks with us, and their time here was so eventful that we have to break it down into parts….
