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.

You may remember a week ago I posted about the emancipation of the Ebenezer church from the mother church. On that occasion I teased about some bigger news to come on the 29th.

Confession time: my sons are fans of the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb. More painful confession time: I have been known to sit and watch episodes with them. One of my their favorite parts of each episode is when Perry the Platypus–ostensibly a household pet–goes through some amazingly intricate secret portal to HQ, where…
As Itacyara and I were talking about our church’s progress over the last year, we noted that the youth group has had few activities since January.
