Wheelchair

EAB has a wheelchair bank in Patos and it is in great demand. We lend people wheelchairs who have surgery or who break a leg etc. It is a simple way to show compassion and the love of God.

Last night an evangelistic team went and held a service in front of a house at Sítio Lagoa de Favela which is about 5 miles west of Green Pastures. The service was led by Sister Dodora and Pastor Rafael preached. The lady of the house has cancer and requested that our team went there to conduct a service. The team was very well received.

I will be leading the service tonight at Green Pastures. Yesterday I saw about 50 Pigmy Nightjars flying and swooping over the Green Pastures Lake. Tonight the youth will be having a fun games night in Patos.

Our daughter Lynn bought us some ginger biscuits from Hayes in England last week, which were on sale at a supermarket in João Pessoa. The last time we had seen these was in 2018!

The Brazilian economy is in a mess as are most things here under President Bolsonoro. The official inflation rate per annum is now at 9.68%.

We are in the process of producing pastoral identity cards for all our leaders so as to help them with access to hospitals to visit the sick etc. The cards will be of similar material to credit cards.

Keylla is alright so far with Covid. She is on day 5. A little boy called Jacob who is also from our Patos church is suspected to have Covid. His mother has it but she is not part of our church. The result of Jacob's test is awaited.
