We are in the São Paulo airport in Brazil about ready to take the 10-hour red eye flight to Atlanta, and then on to home. The last two days of the Old School Conference in Franca went very well, by God’s grace. Haggai Magalhaes, president of a seminary in São Paulo, and Heber Campos Jr, professor at Andrew Jumper Theological Seminary, both spoke twice; Paulo Junior, senior pastor of the organizing church, Calvary Covenant, delivered another powerful message—this one on the danger of privatizing our faith (photo #1 with Paulo); and I spoke three more times.
The Lord was good to us as speakers; in addition to the 700 attentive people present, we were grateful for the 12,000+ people who attended on line. We also enjoyed spending time with each other as speakers and with our wives (photo #2), sharing numerous meals together. We also did a Question and Answer session, and spent considerable time signing scores of books for eager book-buyers—including many books for children (photo #3). Pray that this conference will bear much fruit.
