Liz and I have spent time at the EAB Care Centre twice this week and checked everything over. We are thinking of doing a revamp there. The roof needs renewing and the building needs a refreshing to make it nicer for those that come there for the dentist, and for the seniors 'young at heart' group, the deaf fellowship, the sign language lessons, the cooking for the soups runs, the food bank, the after church fellowship times and the Sunday School children. Please pray with us on this matter.
Another young man was taken to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Santa Rita near João Pessoa this week. That is the fourth person to be taken there in a month. Also linked to this ministry our assistant pastor Rafael spent time yesterday afternoon with the mother of one of the men recently taken there. The mother is so grateful for our love and concern for her son and she is showing to be open towards the Gospel as a result of this ministry. It seems that Bible studies might develop with her as she has asked us to return next week. Please pray for this woman who really does need the Lord.
I have been talking to Pastor Betinho who is responsible for the two churches at Conceição and Ibiara. This young pastor is doing a great job together with his wife Maciene. Both churches are going well. Also in that region are the churches at Vazante and Barra de Oitis which are both led by Pastor Nezinho Abílio. The pastor has been telling me how these place are flourishing. Both churches are encouraged as they have been able to do work on their buildings. Both churches already use their unfinished buildings so it is nice for them to get nearer finishing them. Inside the Vazante church looks really beautiful. Finally in that area is the church at Itaporanga. Pastor Oseias is encouraged there that they are back to holding hybrid services online and in-person and the "services are lively and blessed".
