Due to our transition from the US to Brazil and everything that involves, March is the first month I have been able to post book reviews. Beyond Order, Twelve More Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson One could see “Beyond Order, Twelve More Rules for Life” as simply a continuation of Jordan Peterson’s first book,…
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…
Seriously…just don’t. Oops! pic.twitter.com/A6W7JxPcUs — Roger Rocha Moreira (@roxmo) March 22, 2022 Yet another blow to the “gun ownership doesn’t prevent crime” argument. Also, kudos to the trainee, who never even paused from bagging the groceries. Definitely management material. ___________________________________________ Did you enjoy this post?

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…
Brazil’s annual Carnaval celebration was once again rather muted this year, due to Covid (silver linings, etc). However, our churches continued their tradition of using the days off to get together for spiritual refreshment and fellowship. Itacyara and I were able to participate in two of them. Since Ebenezer had nothing planned for Monday, we…
