Ministry Update: Ebenezer Work Day (UPDATE: More Photos!)

ByAndrew

While we are in the US on furlough, we occasionally get pictures of things taking place back in Brazil. Here are some photos of recent “sprucing up” done by the members of Ebenezer.

The project was to put down cement in the corridor between the church building and the outer wall. First step: mix the cement.
Next step: lay the cement.
The finished product.
Being good Baptists, work is followed by a meal.
The next project will be to build a small supply shed. Here Pastor Francivaldo unloads bricks from his multi-purpose vehicle.

We are thrilled to see how the Ebenezer church continues to grow, develop, and carry on the ministry now that we have moved on to other things.

UPDATE!

This post was written yesterday and scheduled to be published early this morning. As I was having breakfast, Pastor Francivaldo sent me some more pictures, showing a new concrete pad under the tent, among other things. Rather than make a whole new post, I decided to include them here. Enjoy!

What follows are some pictures of the VBS last week at the Kerigma congregation. The lovely and multi-talented Itacyara (aka The Brazilian Bombshell) was in charge of the event. She had been planning it–together with several ladies from our church–almost since our arrival two-and-a-half months previous. On the last day there were over 60 kids…

The Men of Ebenézer

ByAndrew

This is one of the most important pictures I have posted in recent weeks from the Ebenezer congregation. Let me explain: Last Sunday was Brazilian Fathers’ Day, and, as we have every year, the Ebenezer congregation honored the fathers that gathered there. That, however, is not the important thing about this picture. There are several…

Good Pizza and Great Plans

Last night Pastor Francivaldo and I met with the leadership of the Ebenezer youth group at a local pizza parlor. There, around three magnificent pies, we listened to the ideas and dreams of the young people for their group, and set forth our philosophy of church/youth ministry. Look for great things to come from this group of…

Transfer Without Trauma: Thoughts on Effective Ministry Transition

ByAndrew

One of the benefits to the traditional approach to furlough (four years on the field, one year stateside) is that it affords ample opportunity for a missionary to step back and evaluate what went right and what went wrong during the previous term. As Itacyara and I engage in this process, one of the sources…
