I led the service last night in Patos and I preached as well. A brother called Dedé came up to me after the service and said I had preached a "million dollar" sermon! 😀 He didn't give me a million dollars but he did make it clear that he'd been blessed which was great. Yesterday was Father's Day in Brazil so we had a special fathers slot in the service too. The whole service went well.
Yesterday saw the maiden flight between Patos and Recife so it was a real historical day. Flights will be daily from now on with the company Azul (blue). This should be a big help for us on trips to and from the UK cutting out the long and grueling 6 to 7 hour road trip.
Tomorrow morning at 6 am another drug addict will be taken by our young assistant pastor Rafael to the Santa Rita, near João Pessoa, drugs recovery centre. This will be the fifth man we have at the centre at the present time. Please pray. The man who is going tomorrow wears an electronic ankle monitor owing to previous troubles with the law, and he had to get special authorization from the judge to be able to travel.
Saturday night's service at Green Pastures was a real blessing. Liz and I went early to sweep the meeting hall from dust and leaves and put the chairs out duly spaced. Normally Francisco, who takes care of Green Pastures, puts the chairs our and his wife Leca sweeps the hall, but they were busy with Francisco's grandfather, Sr. Heleno, who had had an emergency appendicitis operation. Praise the Lord Sr. Heleno is now home and recovering well.
