Fantastic Youth Service

Saturday night's Youth service was exceptionally good and blessed with one young person making a decision to follow the Lord at the end. The P&W was brilliant as was the dramatic production "Jesus, the Light of the World". The closing message from one of our younger leaders from Teixeira was good too. All in all a great night with a massive turn out where you couldn't even get a mosquito into church! Philip did a great job organizing and leading the service. PTL!

Sadly this Sunday night we have a localised powercut (or as the Americans say a power outage) which affects our church and nearby houses. It has coincided with the time of the service so it looks like we are not going to be able to go ahead with it in the dark. I was all set to return to preaching tonight but sadly the electricity board workers are very slow in acting and it is not going to get fixed in time.

Please pray for Tarcísio who is far from well with the Zica Virus now at Green Pastures. I saw him this morning and he looked pretty awful - worse than when I saw him on Friday. I walked more there this morning than I did on Friday so I'm slowly getting stronger. Here are a few photos from this morning of a Greater Ani bird, 2 giant lizards in the grass, red cactus fruits and a dangerous wild swarm of bees. Bees are the biggest killers in the wild here - more than snakes - so I am always on the look out!
