Easter Retreat

All tuckered out after playing soccer.

Paul Birthday Celebration


Yep, I turned 31 on April 11! To commemorate the glorious event, contrary to the ever-so-popular traditional finger food birthday parties, I requested a bar-b-cue bounty. The tradition here is that the birthday boy or girl makes and serves the food! So here we are next to the bar-b-cue pit.

New Brother in Christ


On the left is our new brother Elinton who was baptized by a local minister, Isaias, who volunteers his time at a recuperation center for young men coming out of drug-dependency. Elinton has enrolled in the Theology Course we started this year. Please pray for him in his new walk.

2nd March Celebration


At this Celebration we were coming out of a two week focus: Knowing the Message and entering into a new two-week focus: Living the Message. Each day was accompanied by a Bible verse and time of meditation. The whole six-week focus will culminate at the Easter Retreat.
