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.
Put It All Together! Short Term Teams!
… and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

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.

Breakfast with a friend
I went out for coffee with a friend here in Sao Paulo, John Johnson. I’ve really gotten to know John and appreciate him as a fellow co-laborer and brother in the Lord. My only regret is that he and his family are heading back to the states. The church they are going to will definitely [...]
Buying Furniture in Sao Paulo
Well, the crate came. But due to space restrictions, we didn’t have a lot of furniture. We decided to go hunting for some things. After a lot of looking, and some high pressure salesman, we did find a little shop downtown that sold furniture that was made out of… get this… wood! What a concept. [...]
