Our current church-plant in São Luís. Stay up to date on what God is doing in this ministry.
The Missão Auxiliadora Batista, or MAB, is a Brazilian mission agency that exists to provide infrastructure to Brazilian missionaries working in Brazil. During our first term it was my privilege to serve on the board of this mission agency. It is with great price, therefore, that I can announce that Francivaldo (center), the young man…
Hot off the presses! As I write this I am receiving pictures and reports from the Ebenezer young people about the area youth fellowship meeting held at our new facilities. Not only was there great fellowship and preaching, but a new directory was elected from among the young people. The president-elect is a young man…
On Saturday three young people were baptized at the Ebenezer congregation, giving public testimony to their faith in Christ. Rejoice with us, and pray for Lucas, Adrianna, and Amanda as they continue to live out their Christian faith in an increasingly hostile world.

This happened a while ago, and I am just now getting around to posting the pictures. I know, bad missionary. The young people of our churches in São Luís got together and held an missions bazaar, with the object of raising people’s awareness of missions needs around the world. Here are some pictures.
This week our family is in Ohio, attending the Annual Conference of Baptist Mid-Missions, the mission agency it is our privilege to serve. The highlight of this years conference has been the passing of the baton from outgoing president Gary Anderson to incoming president Vernon Rosenau. Dr. Anderson is the only president I have known…
