F.O.C.U.S. Brazil Part 3: The Dunes

ByAndrew

This is a continuation of our report on the visit of a missions team from Fellowship Baptist Church in Lakeland Florida. Read parts one and two.

A mere two-hour drive from our camp project lie the Lençoís Maranhenses dunes. So spectacular is this natural wonder that Marvel used them as a backdrop for scenes in their last two Avengers movies.

Of course we feel somewhat obligated to take our visitors to experience for themselves this lovely portion of God’s creation. (thanks, Daniel, for the pictures)

Getting to the dunes is no easy task. After the ferry boat takes the trucks across the Rio Preguiça, there is a bumpy, 45-minute ride through the brush.
Tim and Albert take in the view.
Brazil!
No words can describe this beauty.
The Comings family and the F.O.C.U.S. team.
More jaw-dropping beauty.
…and some more.

Behind our Kerigma congregation stretches a sizable neighborhood called “Coroadinho”. It is known as a hotbed of crime and violence. Within this neighborhood–and within sight of our church–is a hill named after a colorful figure from Coroadinho’s past known as “Ze Bom Bom”. If Coroadinho is a hurricane of crime, Ze Bom Bom hill is…

Ebenezer: First Sunday

This past Sunday marked our first ever service at the Ebenezer Regular Baptist Congregation. The name “Ebenezer” was chosen due to it’s meaning (hitherto hath the Lord helped us). The fact that it is the Brazilian title of my all-time-favorite hymn (Come Thou Fount) may have also entered into the considerations. Whatever the case, the…

Let me explain: When we returned to pastor the church back in January one of the major needs we identified was for a ministry to young people.
