Home made Bread

Jenilda dos Santos takes part in the women's Desert Flower Project at the Fonseca ex-slave community. She has shared her gratitude for the cookery and bakery lessons the group has been receiving. She says how happy she is, together with the other participants, for having been taught how to make bread. I will quote her own words: "We learnt to make home made bread having been taught by Pastor João George. We loved how patient and polite he was with us and how he encouraged us to try... and it worked. Nobody had ever taught us how to make bread or cakes or savory tasty treats. It is so good!" Such community teaching restores dignity, improves diets and provides income for those who make food for sale. God's love can be demonstrated in different ways which is what happened teaching these women how to make home made bread!

Last night's Bible Study went well and covered Acts 12:19 to 13:3. An unexpected discussion developed on prayer and fasting which was excellent. This discussion was generated by Acts 13:2-3.
