I have been discussing with our projects team the continuation of our Desert Flower Project now that Tearfund backing for it has finished. The project is important to be continued as it restores dignity to very poor women and teaches them ways to create their own income. The project's name 'Desert Flower' is very fitting as our aim is to make women flourish in difficult circumstances. An important aspect of this project is teaching women in the field of cookery so as to generate income. The teacher is one of our pastors João George. He is very good. He teaches 10 women in a series of 6 workshops how to bake bread, how to make and ice cakes, how to make the typical tasty savories eaten at parties in Brazil etc. Our difficulty now is to fund these workshops as ingredients for all 10 women makes it expensive at about 170 pounds per workshop. Please pray. The next edition of Desert Flower Cookery workshops is planned to be held at the painfully poor Barra de Oitis village.
Yesterday I prepared my sermon for this coming Sunday when I will both lead the service and preach on the Kingdom of God.
Last night we had another 12 mm (half and inch) of rain at Green Pastures. PTL! It rained for a long time but it was a fine drizzle.
