I led the main service of the week on Sunday night and Bible College graduate Murilo preached on Matthew 5:1-8. It was an excellent sermon. The praise and worship flowed beautifully too led by Sacha and Fábio, backed by Rogerio, Netinho and Rogaciano. Our youth got back from their conference on the coast in Joao Pessoa just as the service finished.
Professor Flávia Moura of the Federal University is about to start research in termites at Green Pastures. Termites create large mounds on trees and it will be very interesting to learn from the professor and her team. The team of Maranhao biologists continue to research wild cats at Green Pastures.
The 246 young people from our churches, who went to their annual conference in Joao Pessoa, are now back home in their respective towns and villages. All report a real time of blessing for which we praise the Lord. Thank you for your prayers.
Liz and I watched online Ken Rashleigh's thanksgiving service this morning which was beautiful.
