Today I start with some good news. Gideão (Gideon) who was pretty ill in hospital at Campina Grande with Covid-19 has recovered and been sent home. Thank you for praying. Please pray that he will now have no after effects from the illness. The pastor of his church, Wostenes, who also had the virus has fully recovered. I have been talking to him yesterday and today.
The curfew here from 10 pm to 5 am started yesterday. In person church services have also been halted so it's back to services exclusively online. A lot of evangelical pastors are up in arms about this calling the order unconstitutional. I had to intervene in the WhatsApp group of our pastors yesterday as some were becoming bitter and extreme. I had to put the flames out and remind them that in EAB/ACEV we do not discuss party politics, as that was what it was becoming. Gratefully they have calmed down but I monitor the group attently. I think the pastors are right in complaining about the bars not being closed as opposed to the churches, but then they get carried away and go too far.
The family of Francisco de Assis Bezerra, aged 28, has been selected to receive an EAB/ACEV Toilet/Shower unit built at their house. They are over the moon as they are one of 80 families that do not have toilets at the village of Barra de Oitis. Francisco's wife is partially blind. They have two children. Please pray for the team who will be building, digging the cess pits, and plumbing the unit in the coming weeks.
