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.
Our work at camp has been dominated by the construction of the dormitories. Since our last report progress has been made, although much slower than I would have liked. We are working hard to get them livable by the beginning of September, when the first of three events takes place. Here are some pictures showing…
We spent Monday and Tuesday at camp, and returned quite happy with how things are progressing at the dormitory. Here are some pictures. This is the exciting part of a construction project, the part where we see things begin to come together. It is also the part where unexpected expenses begin to come up. If…

Since our last update we have made many trips to camp, usually spending two days at a time and performing various maintenance tasks as well as preparing for our major undertaking for this year – the renovation of the house into a dormitory. Here are some of our latest projects: Benches One of our local…
If you were present at one of the churches where we gave our ministry report in 2021, you remember that we had two prayer requests that we shared having to do with our camp: provision of funds to build much-needed dormitories, and provision of a pickup truck that would allow us to haul materials and…
Not quite so many as last time, but here are some random pictures from the last week: The main ministry event was our first trip to camp since returning. Point of interest: The hat I’m wearing in this picture is made entirely of cork, was acquired on our trip to Portugal last September. View this…
One of the main reasons we took a shorter furlough this year (ten months as opposed to the traditional twelve) was so that we could participate in this year’s meeting of all our BMM missionaries in Brazil. These times are always a blessing, and this year was no exception. The Setting The conference was hosted…
While we are on furlough the camp development team we left behind has been hard at work. Building on the success of last year’s event, they organized and pulled off the second official teen retreat at the Mount Zion Baptist Camp. Here are some pictures and videos. ______________________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider making…
