A three-part series
In late September 2026, I went back to Belo Horizonte, Brazil, for the first time since serving there as a young missionary 35 years ago.
I went hoping to find the people I’d known and see what had become of them. What I found were endings to stories I never knew were still being written. This series shares three of them.
Leitores no Brasil: cada parte também está disponível em português.
Part one: What surprised me while visiting my mission for the first time in 35 years
A nervous mother, a birthday cake in a suitcase, and a family business that has lasted more than three decades.
Part two: My Brazilian friend who gave her living room to the Church of Jesus Christ
A living room that became a church in Viçosa, a chapel Conceição had never stepped inside, and a thank-you three decades in the making.
Part three
Coming soon
Em português: em breve
