102

Francisco and Leca are the couple who look after the every day things at Green Pastures and they are a lovely couple. Francisco's grandmother has just died at the age of 102! She was lucid and active to the end. She used to watch soaps on TV every night and she spent time in prayer every night too. She made her own breakfast the day she died. In the evening she was watching TV when she put her hand to her chest and she was gone. What a long life and what a way to go!

Thank you for praying for our Vet Dr. Marcelo Sá who is a member of the Patos church. He is improving from Covid and has come out of intensive care. Please pray for Tica who leads the work at Curral Velho church with her husband Ramos. She has gone down with Covid as has her brother Neneto. She has no symptoms as yet but Neneto is very ill and in intensive care intubated. 

I forgot to mention that our partnership with Tearfund had its 30th anniversary on March 1st. On that day in 1991 I visited Tearfund's headquarters at Teddington, just near Bushy Park, and had a very fruitful meeting with Jennie Evans who was the coordinator for Latin America. That was the start of this long partnership which still goes on today for the glory of God.
