Friday, January 4, 2008 - New Years Photos

 

New Years Eve in Brazil looks and feels so much like the Fourth of July that the casual observer would have a hard time telling them apart.  In fact at the rooftop, midnight cookout the other night my mom said, “This is great!  Why don’t WE (as in Americans) celebrate New Years like this?”  I said, “Because it’s January and about 15 degrees outside!” Oh, yeah, middle of winter, right.

 

I was able to figure out the right camera settings and got some interesting shots.

 

We all had a great time, lots of stuff on the grill.  I gave a short devotional about our hope that maybe this year the Lord would return.  It sure seems like the best of our options.  We had about forty people out and several first time visitors to a church event.

Feliz Ano Novo, 

Mac

The focus of our ministry is church planting but we are very involved in youth ministries, sports evangelism, and camp ministry, as well as counseling. We have recently returned to the US for our second furlough and will be scheduling meetings from our home base in PA.
