We had a lovely Easter. PTL! The services on Sunday were electric. On Good Friday 23 took part in the personal evangelism and tract distribution in the morning followed by prayer and meditation in church. Sunday morning saw the fellowship church breakfast followed by praise and a reflection on God's Word and at night the ressurrection celebration was outstanding with the choreography group inspired as was our leading actress Dilma in an amazing presentation of the Easter message. Philip baptized one young man and I preached on John 18-20 after which 5 made commitments to Christ.
Earlier in the week we had our usual break from Wednesday to Saturday at Green Pastures. It was a lovely relaxing time and I walked over 20 km in the midst of nature. The highlight was to photograph well a killer snake 'Bothrops erytromelas' which crossed my pathway about 3 feet in front of me. The presence of such predators is an excellent sign for the scientists of the excellent level of preservation at Green Pastures , although it also highlights our need for caution and the wearing of boots and jeans etc. to avoid problems.
On the Wednesday Philip and Gylmara travelled to Barra de Oitis ex-slave community with food for the hungry. Their visit there was greatly blessed.
Around the EAB/ACEV churches there were all sorts of special services and events over Easter. News is flowing in from far and wide for which we praise God. His truth is marching on! Jesus is alive literally and in His people!
