Deaconess

I am very happy to say that our dear Deaconess and Nurse Samara at Ibiara, who had severe depression problems with extreme consequences, is much better. Thank you for your prayers. Local Pastor Betinho tells me that Samara is smiling again and turned up at his house to visit his family rather than the other way round with the pastor visiting "the sick"! And I saw a post this morning on social media from Samara with her and her Aunt happily together. So we praise the Lord!

We were again very disappointed by the lack of rain at Green Pastures last night because whilst in Patos it rained 59 mm it only rained 3 mm at Green Pastures! 😒 You have no idea how sad this is in this semi-arid region where rain is hard to come by.

The Covid pandemic keeps going from bad to worse here with the death toll now past 355,000 and the President continues to play down the problem as he ridicules all who request action. Thankfully our State Governor is doing all he can to control the people so as not make the Covid situation worse than it is, but the President unbelievably does all he can to mess up our Governor's good work. What is worse is that I am part of a small minority of evangelical Christians who raise a voice of complaint about our President. Even the President's language is aggressively foul. What a mess!
