Follow the adventures of the intrepid Missionary Max. Missionary fiction at its best!
The other day it occurred to me that it had been a while since I checked for new reviews for the Missionary Max books on Amazon. Turns out, there was indeed a new one for Missionary Max and the Lost City, and it’s…well…um…take a look: How is this written in this century let alone this…
When I was born, my Dad was pastoring the Dryden Baptist Church in Dryden, New York. We lived there until I was four years old. Yet, despite having known me as a toddler, this church has faithfully supported our work here in Brazil for many years. Last week was their annual Vacation Bible School, and,…
This morning I got to do one of my all-time favorite things: talk to a group of kids about missions, Brazil, and Missionary Max. This time it was at the invitation of Miss Elliot of the Portage Christian School in Portage, IN. They recently added the Missionary Max books to their library, and thought it…

Death-defying taxi drivers, corrupt government officials, hordes of angry natives, Nazi robots… Wait…did you say Nazi robots? Yes. Yes we did. It’s all in a day’s work for the one and only Missionary Max. Missionary Max is a fictional character created by real-life missionary Andrew Comings. He (Max, not Andrew) is something of a cross…
Our recent trip to Fortaleza brought back memories of my first moments in Brazil. The post below shares one of the more intense experiences I had in those days. It is a re-post from a few years ago, back when only part of the first Missionary Max book had been published. I have edited it…
The second book in the Missionary Max series, Missionary Max and the Lost City, is officially available in paperback!
