Baby Liz

As times goes by we have had had some children named after us around the EAB/ACEV churches. For instance, there's a little boy at our Belém church who is the son of the leaders who is called John and now there is a baby girl called Liz who was born to a young couple called Tony and Milena in the Patos church. They have now moved to João Pessoa and 2 month old baby Liz was taken ill during last night. Liz received frantic WhatsApp messages from Milena at 2 am telling us that baby Liz is really ill and was taken into hospital so we prayed for her at 2 am. Please pray for baby Liz who has some sort of infection blood tests have shown. 

Yesterday was a very hectic day with lots of pastors on the phone to me sorting out a variety of issues. Pastor Francinaldo at Manaíra told me that 85 year old Silvino is much better from Covid and a stroke and his daughters are going to take him to São Paulo, where they live, to look after him there. I don't think Silvino will like it in a big dirty city but he doesn't have much choice.

Another matter that Pastor Francinaldo discussed with me is the possibility of taking on a young man called Fábio Furtado as a new worker in Manaíra County. I agreed to this and this is a particularly interesting case because Fábio was an EAB Action Child at Caroá a long time ago. When he grew up he did a degree in theology at our Princesa Isabel Bible College and he is the worship leader at Caroá. Now we will be taking him on as a worker to help with the church plants at Travessia and Fonseca. Please pray for Fábio.

Yet another matter I discussed with Francinaldo is the building of the church at Travessia in his County. We have decided to go ahead with this by faith this year. We have the land already. The church building will cost about 4,000 pounds and we have 350 pounds to date so please pray with us on this.
