Our current church-plant in São Luís. Stay up to date on what God is doing in this ministry.
There are some exciting things going on at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the congregation we had the privilege to plant beginning in 2012. Nine months ago they called Paulo as their first full-time (non missionary-supported) pastor, and since then he has been doing an outstanding job. Though we are helping out in a sister church, we…
When first we arrived in São Luís and began working with Pastor Francisco at the Kerigma congregation, we met an earnest young man named Francivaldo. He was a leader in the youth group, and very active in the church. When, a year later, we began the Ebenezer congregation, Francivaldo joined us. Soon after that he…
As with the previous missions trip this year, we made sure to take the Open Bible group to the dunes. This time we went in the afternoon, so as to be able to catch the sunset. And it was spectacular. See for yourself. And here is a brief video taken with the drone brought by…
Our second missions team from the US this year was from Open Bible Baptist Church in Orange City, FL. Pastor Youmans and nine other people came down to partner with our church, Good News Baptist Church, in a Vacation Bible School. I’ve been involved in many such projects, where Americans and Brazilians work together on…

Over the years I have told anybody who would listen that my wife, Itacyara, is an essential part of what we do here in Brazil. Actually, that phrase – “an essential part” – doesn’t adequately express what I mean. She is the glue that holds everything together, the key to any success we may have,…
A few days ago I was checking my messages at camp after a long day of work, and I found a text from Ricky Gantz, of the G220 Radio podcast. It seems Mr. Gantz had chanced upon the Missionary Max books in a thrift store, and they had piqued his curiosity. He asked me to…

Since 2015 Alex, Liang, and their family have been an integral part of the Ebenezer congregation. We have watched them grow, serve, handle extreme difficulties, and minister to others. Alex is a gifted teacher of the word, and has constantly been deepening his theological education over the years through correspondence seminary courses. For the above…
