Ministry Update: More Ebenezer Construction

ByAndrew August 25, 2021September 2, 2021

I was going to post some other news this week, but then I got some more pictures from the Ebenezer remodeling project that I just had to share.

First up: a new closet for storing supplies.

Ceramic footer around the base of the wall. This prevents discoloration caused by water.

The new pad under the “tent of meeting”.

The new courtyard, complete with flowers.

The closet mentioned at the beginning of the post is necessary because the former closet is now a handicap-accessible bathroom.

Pastor Francivaldo and the members of Ebenezer Baptist Church are to be congratulated for their initiative and dedication to making the physical plant of the church as attractive a place as possible. Please pray that God would raise up funds for them to be able to build a desperately-needed new sanctuary.

As a boy growing up in Upstate New York, August was the peak of summer, the halcyon days freedom and sunshine before the onslaught of cold weather, school, and other unpleasant things. For the past decade, as we have lived and worked here in Brazil, August has been the month where…

Missionary Conference, 2019

ByAndrew May 21, 2019March 31, 2020

Since the first one was held eight years ago, our state association’s missionary conference has become a highlight for our churches. Though we have had many good conferences, I have a hard time thinking of one that surpasses this year’s, held last week. Our churches worked together on decorations, food, and raising an offering, and…

“Only He Who Is Running Knows”*

ByAndrew November 27, 2019September 16, 2020

Some time ago I posted about the evolution of my daily running routine from “just something I did to stay healthy” to “a bunch of guys from the church bonding” to “official church running day”. Now, there is one more addition to the trajectory: “fund-raising for church construction”. This idea was actually born on one…
