16-year-old Andressa gave birth to a girl yesterday by caesarean section in the Patos Maternity Hospital. She is from the Fonseca slave-descendent community in Manaíra County where EAB has a little church and various projects, including a well which supplies all the water to the population. Andressa was very ill with pre-eclampsia and was in intensive care, but praise God the hospital handled her case very well and mother and baby are doing well. Andressa's case has been carefully monitored by EAB's social worker Marah Danielle. Thank you for praying.
The Men's Fellowship took an open-air service at the Assentamento Village on Tuesday night and 14 travelled there. It was a really blessed time of fellowship and of sharing the Gospel with the community.
A carpenter has repaired 34 beds at Green Pastures in preparations for a return to church events there next month. 3 aluminium doors were put on toilet/showers as the wooden ones had become warped beyond repair. These toilets serve the local school which we run there as well as the dormitories.
I saw a pair of Caatinga Cacholotes this week at Green Pastures. They are reddish rust coloured birds about 25 cm long and the pairs sing duets together.
We have finished building another toilet/shower unit at Barra de Oitis Village and the family is well pleased and grateful. We also have kitted out with chickens another chicken run. Previously we had built the run but didn't have any chickens to put in it, but now this problem has been solved.
