Accordion player

Please pray for Antonio from our Conceição church who plays the piano accordion there. Antonio is in hospital there with Covid-19 and is going to be transferred to a bigger hospital in another town, when a space for him becomes available, because he is pretty ill. The big problem in Brazil at the moment is to be able to get a place in a hospital if you need it, as the public health system is simply overwhelmed by Covid. Despite this horrific situation, with over 60,000 Covid deaths in March alone, President Bolsonaro still verbally attacks all restrictive measures taken by the State Governors.

I have been talking to our leaders of our second church in the borough of Maia in Princesa Isabel. They are called Jair and Silvânia. Sadly Silvânia's aunt, who lived next door to them but was not part of our church, has committed suicide. Jair and Silvânia are naturally feeling very sad and are low. Please pray for them.

I have had a meeting with one of our projects team leaders, Pastor Lindon Carlos, and we discussed possible Chicken Run and Market Garden projects to be started at the Belém (Bethlehem) village in Tavares County where we have a flourishing little church plant. He is getting over the flu, which he feared could have been Covid, but he had the test and gratefully it was negative.
