On Saturday we had the great joy of inaugurating a new well at the Jatobá Community in Carnaubeira da Penha County in the State of Pernambuco. This is the State which is immediately south of the State of Paraíba where we are based. The inauguration and thanksgiving service went off very well. This Jatobá Community is an indigenous indian community with 38 families. How they survived off the filthy water previously available to them I will never know. The community is overjoyed with the well and very grateful indeed. The thanksgiving service was lovely and the Gospel was proclaimed loud and clear.
Our church at Juru is about an hour and a half hour's drive south west of Patos where the pastor is Ezekiel de Oliveira. They have just held an evangelistic camp there for youth and report over 20 decisions for Christ! Praise God with us and please pray for the follow up to this camp.
Our Carnival Camp has really left our Patos youth ablaze for God and there were nearly 30 present in their Bible study group at the weekend. The youth have their own prayer meeting too tonight and it was lovely to see our granddaughter Alice eager not to miss it!
Our Sunday service went very well. The church was crammed to capacity. We received 5 new members into fellowship.
