Hair cut

Our eldest daughter Deborah fixed her hair yesterday for the first time in one year and four months! She never had it cut owing to the pandemic but now she has had the first jab of vaccine (Astrazeneca), a month ago, she felt secure enough to make this venture and she certainly looks better for it.

I have taken part in the first day of the London School of Theology's (LST) Summer Conference today and it was superb. The theme of the conference is 'Evangelical approaches to Ecotheology' and the speakers were Dr. Dave Bookless (A Rocha International) and Dr. Martin Hodson (Oxford University). I was up at 5 am for the conference as the first speaker was on at 5:30 am. Just time for a quick shower and then into lectures but it was well worth it. The Conference continues tomorrow and Thursday. 

Sunday's service went very well. I preached on 'the Children of Abraham' starting with Genesis 12:1-3. 

I have been talking to Pastor Maésio about the church he leads up in the mountains at Teixeira which has started a new church plant in the rural area at Sítio Sabonete. On the other hand the youth work in the church has run down a lot. Please pray for these matters.

I am glad to give you good news of answers to prayer regarding our folk with Covid. Ellyson (our Patos sound man) and Kecinho's (PE Teacher in Patos) family (daugher, mother, brother and neice) have all recovered from the disease. Márcio and Jacyara (Patos church) are still fighting the illness and Wilson (from the Princesa Isabel church) is out of intensive care. Thank you for your prayers.
