InTouch#96

EAB publishes a little magazine twice a year called EAB InTouch. Each edition shows photos and news of a cross section of our activities over the previous 6 months. I am pleased to announce that EAB InTouch#96 is now in the post to everyone on our mailing list, and that you should receive it in the coming week. This edition reports on our baking pastor, an online wedding, evangelism in Flores, the 4-Legs goat project etc.

Together with EAB InTouch#96 goes our Christmas Gift List. You can obtain EAB Christmas cards and gifts with a difference and bless the poor and needy this Christmas in the interior of northeast Brazil. Our thanks go to Marian Rashleigh for all her work in compiling another edition of EAB InTouch and to Dave Flowers for his layout and artwork.

I led the service last night at Green Pastures. It was lovely to see local farmers Fred and Manoel volunteer to sing solos in the service. Manoel committed his life to Christ many years ago because I picked him up in my car when he was drunk and took him home. The speaker last night was Rayla who has just graduated in law at university. I saw a Squirrel Cuckoo at Green Pastures which is a light-brown bird about the size of a UK Magpie. 

We had a surprise visit from our Deaconess Josinete at our house. It was a surprise because it was the first time she felt secure enough to visit us since the pandemic began. Prior to the pandemic she visited our house most days. Thankfully in Brazil the average daily death rate continues to drop and is at 236 (as opposed to 4,000 at the peak earlier this year) and new daily infections are down to about 10,000.
