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.

This is a continuation of our report on the visit of a missions team from Fellowship Baptist Church in Lakeland Florida. Read parts one and two. A mere two-hour drive from our camp project lie the Lençoís Maranhenses dunes. So spectacular is this natural wonder that Marvel used them as a backdrop for scenes in…
Last month the combined ladies associations of the state of Ceará held their annual retreat. This year’s venue was a resort near the city of Martins, in the neighboring state of Rio Grande do Norte. Because we lack our own state association, our Maranhão churches are associated with the Ceará churches. And this year, for…
Classes have begun at the Bible Institute, with an enthusiastic group of students. This semester I’m teaching Old Testament Survey, one of my favorites. Please pray that God would raise up more men and women willing to stand up and prepare for leadership and service in the church. ____________________ Did you enjoy this post? Consider…
The Ebenezer Regular Baptist Church was happy to have Pastor Brian King and his wife, Judy, as our special speakers for the 2017 conference.
