Rain at last!

After a long period with little rain we had a good rain at Green Pastures last night of around 2 inches, taking us up to 18 inches overall this year out of the 40 inches needed in the rainy season to see us through to 2020. We hope and pray that it will continue in the coming days and weeks.

Last night's service in Patos was lovely. It really was a blessing.

On the Saturday we travelled to Juazeirinho to induct the new pastor there and the service went very well. Please pray for this young pastor Rafael.

There have been lots of time consuming challenges around the churches in recent weeks. Please pray. Slowly we are dealing with one thing after another. We have started investing in a church plant in Recife in a bigger way so there has been a lot of sorting to do with this. We had made a timid start but now we have rented a house in a good location in the borough of Cordeiro in Recife and have 3 families in the city. Please pray. Our strategic plan has long been to establish churches in the capital of Pernambuco State, which is Recife, to be able from there to expand inland in this the neighbouring state to the south of our headquarters State of Paraíba - and to then establish a church in Natal which is the capital of Rio Grande do Norte State to the north, and expand from there inland. The latter is yet to start. Please pray for all this. May God provide the resources and open doors of service and ministry.
