Tavares is a town up in the mountains which takes about a one and a half hour drive south-west of Patos. This weekend local pastor Robério baptized 7 new converts there in a joyful service. PTL!
On Saturday night I led a lovely service at Green Pastures where a good number gathered to hear the Gospel. The service was supported by the Married Couples' Fellowship from Patos, as will now happen on every second Saturday in the month. Fire Fighter Romildo and his wife Claudia were there and she brought a lovely word of testimony.
Last night in Patos we had serious electrical problems in the church once again with the voltage at 180 instead of 220. This meant we had to have most of the lights off to be able to get through the service. I have been on to a lawyer this morning so as to take legal action to force the electricity company to sort out the power supply to our church. Despite the problems the service went well and assistant pastor Rafael preached well from Psalm 51.
Veteran brother Silvino, who was one of the founder members of the Caroá church, went to be with the Lord this morning after a long illness following a severe stroke. Our prayers are with the family and the church.
Tomorrow is the "patron saint of Brazil" day and it is also children's day. As we don't believe in patron saints we commemorate the latter. It is beautiful to see Sister Dodora at the Assentamento Village distributing little pieces of a simple cake she made for the children. It's what she could do so she did it! Our churches are holding special children's services and ours in Patos will be next Sunday morning.
Please pray for my niece Lisa in London who has Covid. She is far from well.
