Lots of great moments to share, so here we go. As always, you can see these in real time by following us on Instagram.
With Vitor and Afonso, my two New Testament Survey students last semester.It was great to be able to spend some time with my friend Clederson after he spoke at our teen retreat in December.The Ebenezer church is happy to welcome children’s missionary Valderlene as the newest addition to our ministry team.Doing some year-end cleaning and I found this, a memento from a job I had on our 2016 furlough. I wrote about that job here.Another find during “spring cleaning”, a Soviet Army military jacket. Just to be clear, I never worked for this institution.Found near our house.I never get tired of taking pictures of the old buildings in the São Luís historic district.This is how I began the new year.When we go to camp, this is my best helper.A job I had while in college, putting together furniture for store displays, continues to yield fruits.At Ebenezer we work hard, but also have good food and good fellowship.This church group used our camp the first week of January.The official opening of Ebenezer Kids was a success!One of the young people who has come to Ebenezer Kids wanted to sing a special for the church service.A pause for ice cream with the most beautiful woman in the world.At first the Ebenezer Kids would just write their names in the grime on my truck. Now they include phrases like “God is faithful” in their petty vandalism. Progress!I took Nathan and one the teens from Ebenezer to an antique car show.This truck was by far the star of the show…a 1962 Brasil, a vehicle manufactured in Brazil by Chevrolet.A beautiful dash board.Every detail a work of art.Two well-preserved 1972 models.There was even a celebrity appearance.Last Sunday at Ebenezer.

It was Saturday evening. A large group of well-wishers looked on as the blushing bride walked down a grassy lane, and a nervous groom crooned the words from a popular love song. When bride and groom met at the altar, the turned around and waited as their nine children came up the aisle with their…
Here are some pictures of a teju (pronounced TEH-zhoo) found on campus yesterday. It had apparently fallen into this hole behind the married-student housing. One of our students, Washington by name, jumped in the pit and pulled it out. This gives a good idea as to the size of the lizard. According to our seminary…
You may remember, about three months ago, I posted about an opportunity our son Michael had to go on a missions trip to Portugal. God provided, and he was able to have an incredible experience with other young people from Fellowship Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. Here are some of the pictures he took. More…
