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.

As has become our custom, the church family gathered together for a Christmas lunch on the Sunday before Christmas. This year almost forty people showed up. It’s easy to see why this is one of the highlights of our year. Did you enjoy this post? Consider making a donation to…
When we arrived at the Ebenezer church back in January one of the most worrying aspects of the church at the time was the lack of any children’s ministry. In fact, there was only one person under the age of 12 in attendance. So we began making definite plans to change that. And on Saturday…
