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.

Last week our association of churches held it’s third missionary conference. The speaker, Pastor Misael (who, incidentally, pastors the church where the Brazilian Bombshell and I were married almost 17 years ago) challenged us from the Word. Besides the biblical edification, conferences like these bring our churches together around a common cause, with the side…
This website was dormant for most of June…but our lives were certainly not. Furlough has been quite eventful so far, and there have been many, many “Kodak moments”. Here are some of the highlights of our travels. For those looking for pictures of our family reunion and celebration of my parents’ 50th anniversary, that will…
If you follow us on Facebook, you know we spent last week in the city of Manaus, on the Amazon River, at the annual conference of the Baptist Mid Missions missionaries here in Brazil. Later on I’ll have pictures, but for now, here’s a sequence of videos I took with the GoPro. As always, a…

Two tragedies mark our last five years, one at the beginning, and one at the end. The first was the murder of our friend and co-worker Francisco Bezerra. The second was the sudden death of friend and church-member Athyla Gabrielle in a motorcycle accident. That tragedy took place one year ago today. There is no…
The following are excerpts from our most recent prayer letter. You can read the whole thing here.
