FBC Missions Trip Part Three: Church Ministry

ByAndrew

One of my favorite parts of hosting missions trips is watching them interact with our Brazilian brothers and sisters in our local church. The Fellowship group fit right in and participated in two Sunday services, side by side with our church folks.

Tim, one of the team members, brought a lesson to our adult Sunday School class. Also…I’m short.
Special music brought by a group of ladies on the team.
Pastor Ryan McKeen brought two messages from the book of Mark, and gave my translating skills a real workout.

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…

Ministry Update: “It’s Training Men”

ByAndrew

On Sunday Pastor Francivaldo called the men together before the service to talk about the possibility of a men’s ministry for the Ebenezer church.
