The EAB/ACEV church up in the mountains at Matureia, which is the highest point in our State of Paraíba, has cancelled all its in-person church services owing to the new surge of Covid infections in the town. Please pray for Matureia which is about 45 minutes by car from Patos where we live. The Covid pandemic is on the increase again here with an apparently third wave being experienced. The whole region in the interior where we live is getting steadily worse again.
Our Pastor Oseias at Itaporanga has been confirmed with Covid and continues in isolation. Veterinary surgeon Marcelo Sá continues to improve from a very heavy bout of Covid. He took part on Tuesday night in the Men's Fellowship meeting online. I was very pleased about this at it shows how much he is getting better. He tells me he is doing a lot of physiotherapy to help his breathing. Please continue to pray for Oseias and Marcelo.
It is so good to see how well our EAB Action Schools have adapted to the reality of teaching and coping under the pandemic conditions without in-person schools here. I was in touch with our Caroá School, for example, which is helping 12 children of which 2 families have been hit by Covid. The teacher drops off the children's lessons to each of their farmsteads and then helps them all with their lessons online via WhatsApp. Similarly she drops off food parcels to their homes for which she says their families are very grateful.
