23 Graduates

Our 2nd church at Campina Grande started a 2-year basic theology course for its members 2 years ago and 23 brothers and sisters have just finished the course. This really is excellent. 

Covid deaths in Brazil have now reached the lowest level since April 2020. In the last 24 hours 296 deaths occurred and 11,077 new infections were registered which is a great deal lower than in the UK.

I preached on Sunday night on the 'Messianic Secret' and it was greatly appreciated by many people who spoke to me after the service and sent me messages via WhatsApp. I have also sent video messages to our Princesa Isabel church, for their 81st anniversary, and to our Caroá church, for a memorial service for our late brother Silvino there.

One of our drug addicts, who we had sent to rehab, came home to get his Covid jab and promptly got drunk. He has repented of his ways and will be going back to rehab. We are also sending a new person to rehab who I know well but I can't say his name here. Please pray for these men seeking a new life, free from drugs and drunkeness. May they find new life in Christ.

Please pray for a woman whom Liz has been counselling. She is facing a serious family problem which I can't mention. May God help this dear woman at this very difficult time.

Our Flores church has been doing child evangelism. They evangelized 160 children in 3 boroughs and 3 rural areas distributing sweets and ice lollies. May the Lord bless the good seed sewn in these young hearts and lives.

Cactus Parakeets are making a lot of noise at Green Pastures as they feed off the Prosopis Juliflora trees laden with seed pods at this time of year.
