Thanks to my sister Jean for the 2015 diary which arrived yesterday! Thanks to Joyce & Alex Sims, Mrs. Yoakley and David Shearing for Christmas cards which have also arrived.
My youngest daughter Sacha continues her one month Cambridge Teacher Training Course in Recife and has received news that she passed in the highest level (CPE - Proficiency) Cambridge language exam so well done Sacha all round! Well done to our eldest grandson Felipe who not only surprised everyone by getting into the Modern Languages Course at University in first place but has now received news that he has passed the FCE Cambridge Language exam which is the third in five levels. He obtained a very good mark - so well done to Felipe too.
The 10-day Outreach starts today at Soledade. Those going from the Patos church have already left. Please remember them all in your prayers that many will be won for Christ in this outreach.
I have a meeting with a non-EAB/ACEV pastor who has asked to speak to me this afternoon who is travelling a long distance to come for this. I understand that he likes our approach to integral mission and is interested in joining the cause. Please pray for God's guidance on this and possible subsequent meetings on this matter.
I will be preaching, conducting communion and dedicating two children and the small town/village of Passagem tomorrow. Please pray.
We follow the news on the awful violence in France with much concern as this is exactly what I have referred to with concern in the past on this blog. A mutually tolerant pluralistic society is fine as long as everyone plays by the rules but there are those who openly declare they won't play by the rules and infact want to impose their own laws. May God help us as this is a difficult nut to crack! Nut being a wholly appropriate word!
