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.
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.

Every year the Baptist Mid Missions missionaries in Brazil present a report of our activities to our colleagues. Here is our report for 2020.

On our previous visit to the camp we noticed that the lateness of the rainy season had caused the water level of the river to diminish drastically.
