One Week Until Launch!
God has been doing some incredible exciting things as we move toward the launch of the newest Baptist church in Sao Paulo. Our different ministry teams are coming together in remarkable ways. Each day something new happens. We recently added the missing drummer to the worship band. They are awesome! Salva has been praying for [...]
All things to all men… Paulistano o Paulista?
Within the bounds of God’s Word, the apostle Paul (Sao Paulo) would not offend the Jew, Gentile, or those weak in understanding the Gospel message.
Happy New Year in 2010!
Each year that goes by means we’re just one year closer to Christ’s return. We “Celebrate His Birth” as we “Anticipate His Coming!” There is so much though that still needs to be done in reaching the lost with the life-saving message of the Gospel. May this new year present to you bountiful opportunities to [...]
Christmas in Brazil!
Hi friends and family… What a wonderful year, and how fast it’s gone by! I was just looking back over my journals this year and have been amazed at the journey the God has taken our family on. We’ve picked up a new language, Portuguese. We’ve seen several people come to Christ. We’ve been able [...]
Columbus Day or Children’s Day?
Well, I for one have always enjoyed Columbus Day and what that event meant for the eventual founding of the United States of America. I believe that God is in control of the raising up and bringing down of nations. The book of Daniel offers prophecies that show God’s hand moving in this way. The [...]
Pray for the Incredible Lostness
The mission is not done. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) has not been fulfilled. In fact, the only way we can measure of ‘fulfilling the mission’ is to look at the impact being made on the lostness that remains, and that lostness is still massive!
Your heart is big enough
What do you do when you have such a burden for one place and God calls you to another. Well, as I heard from someone I highly respect today, “Your heart is big enough to have room for that original burden and have room left over for the new place as well.” That is so [...]
Going to pick up the visas on Monday!
Awesome news just before Thanksgiving! The vice-consul from the Brazilian consulate called this afternoon and said I could come in and get the visas! I’ll go to Washington D.C. on Monday to pick them up. We’re working on our airline tickets and should be flying soon. Tentatively we are looking at December 11th. We’ll nail [...]
Brazilian Church – Igreja Nações Unidas
We thoroughly enjoyed our time Sunday evening with the Brazilian Church here in Richmond, Igreja Nações Unidas, with Pastor Zélio Braga. Both the worship and teaching were excellent… and if our reception in Brazil is half of what it was at the church, we’ll be ecstatic! They have a children’s class and a lot going [...]
Pleasant Surprise. It’s Father’s Day in Brazil
We just got back from the Brazilian church here in Richmond that we have been attending. It was a nice surprise to find out that it’s Father’s Day in Brazil and the service was centered around that theme with God being the Ultimate Father. There was a nice dinner planned at the church after the [...]
