Wild Cats

I have been contacted by Vitor Emanoel and Dr. Tadeu Gomes de Oliveira from the Maranhão State University with a view to researching wild cats at Green Pastures Nature Reserve. We have set up a meeting for May 2nd or 3rd when they will be travelling to Green Pastures and staying there for a night or two. They will be setting up automatic cameras at Green Pastures and collecting the memory cards every 3 months. All their findings will be shared with us. We are very happy about this as it is a great way for us to learn and to support scientific research.

With our Easter Camp fast approaching (starts on 14th) we are very busy holding meetings and preparing the details of the camp. There will be services in the mornings at 9 am and at night at 7.30 pm. On Good Friday afternoon there will be a games afternoon and on the Saturday there will be an "opportunity knocks" type of afternoon when budding singers and musicians will have a chance to shine. We are working on details of discipline and order for the camp as we will have one or two trouble makers there who will need to be controlled. It's not all plain sailing!

My sister Jean remains in hospital recovering from a fractured hip. She still has excruciating pain. Please continue to pray for her.

On Thursday night we stayed on in church after the Bible study so as to hold another meeting about the camp. The meeting was with the assistant pastor Rafael and the leaders of the youth.
