This week we found a 'Caatinga's Black Snake' 2 metres (6 feet) long at Green Pastures. It was found under the bed of our chief cook Linda but anyone in Brazil please don't tell her this! This snake is actually a very positive snake as its main diet is other snakes as it is immune to their poison.
The Brazilian census has shown that our state where we live and work (Paraiba) has the third highest level of illiteracy in Brazil, better only than the other northeastern states of Alagoas and Piaui. It is good to realize that EAB/ACEV's 17 little schools are contributing towards solving this problem and we thank all for their support for our action schools which help over 800 children. Our aim is to have with every church a school, as Martin Luther once proposed.
On Palm Sunday Liz taught the adult class in the Sunday School again in the morning. I led the main service of the week at night and in the service we showed the carnival camp video which we sent to everyone in the UK. Our Bible College student Rayla preached from Matthew 21:1-11. It was a good service.
On Sunday a father called Mateus, who had been backslidden for years, rededicated his life to God. We rejoice and ask you to pray for Mateus.
