Edition number 95 of EABs bi-annual magazine 'InTouch' is in the post and on it's way to everyone. Our thanks go to Marian Rashleigh for all the work she has put into this edition as she always does. If you are not on our mailing list and would like one or more copies then please do let us know. The 8-page magazine gives a resumé of the work of EAB over the past months.
Yesterday Philip and I conducted the wedding online of Brenda and Victor and all went off beautifully. The couple asked to use the church's side hall for the occasion so they were there from 9 am for the legal part with the judge, together with Brenda's sister and mother and our worker Lila. The judge married a whole host of couples online one after another. As our couple was well down the list it meant that our Christian part of the wedding started about half and hour later than the 10 am that was planned. That was no problem. In fact if things are on time in Brazil we think something is wrong! I prayed with them and then Philip read part of 1 Corinthians 13. I then shared a few thoughts from God's Word with them and then they said their vows and exchanged rings. Following this I declared them husband and wife and they timidly kissed. Then Philip said a few words to them before he said the final prayer and blessing. May the Lord bless Brenda and Victor!
Our Patos church Fireman Romildo has been confirmed with Covid and his symptoms are mild so far. This is day 9. Please continue to pray for Romildo. Please also continue to pray for our Veterinary Doctor Marcelo with Covid in hospital in Campina Grande. We understand that he is out of danger now but still needs oxygen.
