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.
This week the First Baptist Church in São Luís is holding their annual church retreat at the Mount Zion Camp. Their pastor, Geandro, is also part of the camp development team. Today was their first day at camp. Here are some pictures: We’ll post more updates as we receive them. Stay tuned! ________________________________________ Did you…

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. This presented us with an opportunity to do some much-needed cleaning. Accordingly, the following week Michael, Francielio, Luan and I spent two days doing just that. Here are…
