It’s been a busy but rewarding week since our last Snapshots post. Here are some highlights. As always, be sure to follow our Instagram account to get these updates as they happen.
We attended a seminar on how to minister to people with autism. Dr. Adriadna (center) did an outstanding job. We were especially pleased that these two ladies from Ebenezer accompanied us.The seminar wasn’t all sitting and taking notes…One of our young people, Isaque, turned fifteen this week. We can excuse his questionable choice of a soccer team, because God is truly working in his life.Another great moment as we shared an evening (and pizza) with Alisson and Yngrid, newlyweds from Ebenezer.…and yes, those are indeed French fries on that pizza on the left.I was reminded of how privileged modern missionaries are, as we were able to talk to my Dad on his birthday. The pioneer missionaries in whose footsteps we follow knew of no such luxury.While the truck was being repaired on Thursday I put some serious preparation time into this week’s Old Testament Survey lesson.

Behind our Kerigma congregation stretches a sizable neighborhood called “Coroadinho”. It is known as a hotbed of crime and violence. Within this neighborhood–and within sight of our church–is a hill named after a colorful figure from Coroadinho’s past known as “Ze Bom Bom”. If Coroadinho is a hurricane of crime, Ze Bom Bom hill is…

Well…actually…Ebenezer never left. But you know what I mean. After almost four months of quarantine, messages on Facebook Live, prayer meetings via Zoom, the Ebenezer Baptist Church had its first in-person service this Sunday. And, despite the ubiquitous masks and hand sanitizer, it was glorious. Here are some pictures. We appreciate your prayers as we,…
