A word to the good people of Brazil.

A word to the good people of Brazil.

January 17th, 2024.

As some of you all know,

Nancy and I were planning to travel down to Brazil next month in order to speak at a large evangelical conference.

Word got out that we were coming and a newspaper article was published by a leftist activist named Rinalso Paco, accusing me of racism and advocating

for slavery. That article got some traction and started something of a rumpus. As my son-in-law put it, I have achieved the honor of becoming something of a

something of a global pariah.

Now in late breaking news, the invitation to the conference

has been rescinded, and this has happened

as the result of security concerns.

The organizers of the conference just are not capable of guaranteeing the safety of my safety and

Nancy's safety and the safety of attendees at the conference.

And so with deep regret, they rescinded the invitation.

So this is a follow-up.

I drafted this blog post before that happened,

but these issues are still all relevant.

Because I'm a minister of Jesus Christ, the one who described himself as the way, the truth,

and the life, I do have a responsibility in such circumstances to speak out.

This is an order that all friends of the truth might have the opportunity to rejoice together

with us.

Jesus was very clear about this sort of thing.
