The Dolans relocated from Altamira to our state capitol city, located on an island where the Amazon River flows into the ocean.

Steve, Elba, Deanna, Nira, Rick, Alyssa, Camilly, Tim, Bella – Our friendship with the Dolans dates back to when Elba lived with us in Santarem in 1994.

Bella and Alyssa are both artists.

Elba, her twin sister Nira, and Deanna. Nira became the senior pastor of the Mirante Vineyard Church when Elba and Steve moved to Belem.

Tim and Steve entered into a deep theological conversation late at night.

Good bye to good friends.

Some people think Belem is the most beautiful city in the world.
