  We had a great weekend of activities at Faith Baptist of Sorocaba. Saturday night we took six teens to a youth rally at Hope. There were over a hundred teens there to hear a great challenge from the Word. Earlier on Saturday afternoon we had over fifty kids at Bible Club. Many had participated in club in the past but had left for one reason or another. The club's new theme has a "Mission Impossible" type emphasis. Each week the three teams get a "Mission" that they have to work out during the week. On Saturday they come with either a successful or a failed mission. Success brings boo-cu points and failure brings latrine duty! The Green team (mine) did really well Saturday but we were edged out by the blue team 1300 to 150. The Red team got latrine. During club a little boy showed up that I wasn't exactly excited about having. He is a little "demon" or at least that is what I've heard. His name is Alex. He lives next-door to our newest ...

After five years of hard work Jackson has arrived at graduation day! It was a joint effort these last two years with Annie by his side. And the arrival of Gabriel added another dimension to the seminary schedule. Jackson received a special award at the graduation banquet. He was elected by the student body and professors as Student of the Year! Basking in the memories of these five years one could meditate on the highs and lows that have been integral in moulding three lives for future ministry. But I praise the Lord for shaping His will in these cherished family members lives through each and every event. When Dawn and I dedicated Annie to Christ more than 25 years ago we couldn't have imagined the script that He would place in her hands. And only He knows what the future will hold. Our prayer is that God will use them mightily in His service and that He will continue to direct their every step. Pray for them as they prepare for a visit to the States. Jackson is in the process to ...

Father and son after a long night! Blogged with Flock These two boys are in different stages of transition. Gabriel (left) is just beginning a new life. He doesn't know what is in store and it seems that he doesn't care about what is ahead as long as the milk keeps coming and his diaper is changed periodically. He might be the future president of the Republic (let's pray that he isn't) but as long as his minimum needs are met he's OK. Jackson is well along in years (26 going on 27)and he is ending an important part of his life. He is in the last of five semesters of his Seminary training. In just four short months he will be entering the spooky world of those looking for ministry opportunities. Which of the two do you think needs more prayer?
