Ministry Update: Church Retreat in Barreiras, Bahia
Back towards the middle of 2023 we received an invitation to speak at the Carnaval retreat of the First Baptist Church in Barreiras, Bahia – attended by a former student of ours. At that time I was not pastoring a church, and there was no retreat of our own planned at the Mount Zion Camp, so Itacyara and I had no qualms about accepting the request. If you regularly read our updates here, you know that in the intervening months our pastors decided to hold a Carnaval retreat of our own, and I accepted the call to return to the Ebenezer church. Had I known about these events at the time, I would have probably declined the invitation. As it turns out, I’m glad I didn’t, because I would have missed a truly blessed time.
We also had the opportunity to refresh old friendships…
Our time there was very busy…but very profitable, and a blessing to Itacyara and myself. We returned to Maranhão (arriving yesterday) refreshed and ready to take on the various tasks that await us.
