We were greatly saddened last night by the news that Samara, who is a deaconess at the EAB/ACEV Ibiara church, had attempted suicide by cutting her arteries in two places. Thankfully she was rushed to the Conceição hospital in time to save her and she has now been brought to the hospital here in Patos for further repairs. Please pray for Samara. Samara is a nurse and like all nurses has been under tremendous psychological pressure coping with Covid. She has the added worry that she has a serious eyesight problem, which I understand has no cure, so this was also getting her down and playing on her mind. I have been talking to her pastor Betinho and giving him some advice on how to handle this very sad case. The issue of mental health is critical in these times of the Covid pandemic.
Good news now is that our pastor José Vieira and his wife Raimunda in João Pessoa have both been given the all clear after having Covid. They are very grateful to all who prayed for them.
