Our 89-year-old elder Pedro Guedes has Covid and was taken into hospital yesterday. His son Jesiel, who is probably the source of the Covid as he works in the market and lives in the same house, also has Covid. We visited them recently so missed catching Covid by a whisker! Please pray for our elder who has both pneumonia and a kidney infection. The son has just mild symptoms. The average daily Covid death rate in Brazil has dropped further to 334.
We are busy finalizing preparations for our Campina Grande 1st Church's Men's Conference on the 23rd and 24th at the Green Pastures Nature Reserve & Christian Conference Centre. About 60 men are expected. We have carried out repairs at Green Pastures and repainted all the dormitories, bedrooms, leisure area, kitchen and meeting hall. This hadn't been done for years and now that the pandemic is quietening down we expect Green Pastures to be in increasing demand by our churches, so all is now in order for this.
Yesterday our Manaíra Church held a day of child evangelism at the Fonseca (slave descendants) Community branch church which was very well attended and really blessed. A big crowd of children heard the Gospel. On Sunday the same church is going to do the same in their own church and next Thursday they will repeat the evangelism at the new Travessia church. Please pray.
The new Saco dos Pintos well, which will supply clean water for 34 very poor families, is in the final stages of being set up with water tower, electric pump, standpipe and animal drinking trough. I will be preaching the Gospel at the inauguration and thanksgiving service next month.
