St John's Festival

We are in the middle of the annual traditional St John's Festival. It's very nice of them to think of me like this but it does make things rather noisy! I went and slept at Green Pastures last night to get some peace. I was up before 4 am today and took the first photo of the day just as dawn was breaking at 5.16 am of a Striated Heron. The Festival ends on Sunday night.


I am ready to preach this Sunday in Patos. It will be a special meeting we do. A sort of evangelical version of the current festival glorifying Jesus. You might find it especially interesting to watch the live broadcast as people tend to dress up in regional dress for this service.

Tomorrow is the first Deaf Fellowship Conference which will also be transmitted live. That is the service at night will be. I will be taking part in this through an interpreter. The deaf will run the entire day themselves under the leadership of our deaf pastor Luiz Carlos.

The men's fellowship of our 1st Campina Grande church will spend tomorrow at Green Pastures for a day of fellowship.
