The heart can not taste what the eyes have not seen. — Brazilian proverb
Entrance to the Southern Baptist International Mission Board in Richmond, VA.
I arrived at the Southern Baptist International Mission Board in Richmond, VA shortly after they opened the next day. Per my earlier request, they tailored a tour of the facilities to emphasize their media departments, especially photo, print, and video. At the end of my two hour tour, I met with Sylvia DeOliveira, our regional missions representative, and discussed the status of the international missions program at our church. I left her office with so much missions-oriented media - books, other printed material, audio and video tapes, and DVDs - that I went straight to the IMB shipping department and mailed it all home to myself.
