Carnival Camp was wet & wonderful!

With over an inch of rain during the camp we rejoiced throughout this year's Carnival Camp. But that wasn't just because of the physical rain but because of the spiritual rain as well! PTL!

With 250 present from Patos, São Mamede, Campina Grande, Londrina in the south, Manaira, Tavares, Imaculada, Princesa Isabel, Itaporanga, Curral Velho, Ibiara, Conceição, Teixeira, Matureia & Soledade it was an excellent camp. 

Philip preached the most amazing sermon on the opening night about social networks and the Christian in the light of God's Word. It was tremendous and got us off to a great start. So it went on with a wonderful 7 services + special children's programme + sport, walks, swimming and much good food and fellowship. PTL!

The other topics covered during the camp, at the request of the youth, were abortion, gender, dress code, drugs, alcohol, environment, relationships and evangelism. It was a very full programme of Biblical teaching.

Rainfall has been better at Green Pastures than most places in the region and we are grateful to God. We have passed 18 inches of rain already and counting. The dam has overflowed 4 times and the lake is now about half full. 

Tomorrow Liz and I travel to Ceará State with 3 other pastors to trouble shoot in the churches there. It will be a long journey and we need to be back to preach in Patos for Sunday.

On Tuesday we're off to Natal to pick up Marian Rashleigh at the airport who will be with us till the 23rd. Please pray for much blessing upon her trip.
