As from the month of October I will have a new assistant pastor by the name of Rafael. This is because Philip, who has been my co-pastor for a long time now, is moving back to England with his family. Philip will be sorely missed. He has done an excellent job.
Last night we had a meeting with Rafael discussing various aspects of the work in Patos. It was a lovely and encouraging meeting. Rafael has rented a flat in the same street as the church a five minute walk away. Rafael is 30 and single but has just started going out with a lovely Christian girl from the Patos church so that has worked out well too.
We value your prayers for Rafael and this new phase in the Patos church. We will be going back to holding services in church when he comes as he is young and not in a risk category. People will need to be under 60, wear masks and keep 1.5 metres apart, so of course it will be strange but better than nothing. The services will continue to be online too for those who can't go to church or who don't feel comfortable about going.
