Family Month

ByAndrew

Among Evangelical churches here in Brazil, May has been designated “Family Month”. Sermons, activities, and conferences are organized around the theme of “The Family”. This, of course, is in response to the massive disintegration of family life here (something our US brethren know all about, as well).

This year I was invited to speak at another church for their family conference. Meanwhile, the Ebenezer ladies’ fellowship organized a month’s worth of special activities that culminated last night in a special service. Here are some pictures of that event.

Ebenezer Update and Opportunity

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…

At the Borders of Pain and Suffering*

ByAndrew

An update on the Ebenezer fund-raising “marathon” is long past due. Despite threatening clouds, the event went off without a hitch. Several of our church members were joined by members of a couple of our sister churches at the Itapiracó park. After a word of prayer and some orientation from Pastor Francivaldo (who organized the…
