Pastors

I've been having a lot of discussions with different EAB/ACEV pastors today which is always good. I especially had talks with the two pastors, Wostenes and Hamilton, of our two churches at Campina Grande where God's work is pressing ahead well despite all the difficulties of the pandemic. The first church there in the borough of Catolé, where Wostenes is the pastor, is slowly expanding its building to cope with growth. PTL!  The second church which Hamilton leads, is in the borough of Presidente Médici, and has just managed to buy a narrow piece of land next to the church which is being used as a car park. The church has 5 years to pay for the land on the never never. So we praise God for the two churches in Campina Grande which are growing for the glory of God.

I also have been talking to Pastor Nezinho Abílio who leads the two churches at Barra de Oitis and Vazante. What a joy it is to see how that despite all the Covid problems in these villages (as opposed to churches previously mentioned in a city) both churches are progressing well. At Barra de Oitis they have 54 members and at Vazante they have 62. Both these village churches have their own church buildings which are in the process of being finished off whilst being used. So it always is so encouraging seeing people come to Christ whether in towns, cities or villages!

In Patos we have seen another person make a commitment to Jesus. She is a young woman who heard the Gospel from her neighbour Iris who is a member of our church and who was recently appointed as deputy-head teacher of our Patos Action School. We praise God for people who naturally share the Gospel with friends and neighbours and lead them to Christ.

My blood tests a few days back all worked out well with cholesterol and glucose levels etc. all fine. The only item slightly below normal was my potassium so the doctor has told me to eat more bananas and oranges to fix that. That suits me fine.
