Ray Santana, aged 26, is one of our Patos youth leaders and he is a journalist. Yesterday he tested positive for Covid. Rayla, who is another of the 3 person youth leadership team, also has the symptoms. We have therefore cancelled youth meetings in Patos for the coming days and value your prayers.
The UK has now acknowledged the Chinese Coronavac vaccine that Liz and I had for Covid as valid. This is good news for us as it opens the way for future travel.
Liz checked our British and Brazilian passports and discovered that both our British passports expired last year as did my Brazilian one. Now it is much simpler to renew British passports online so I did these yesterday. The cost is high but the efficiency is good.
Inflation in Brazil is steadily rising and is now at 10.67% p.a.
A Patos ambulance had a sad accident this week when taking a woman to hospital for a check-up following cancer surgery. The driver lost control on a bend, turned the ambulance over and killed the patient. The driver has a broken arm.
Liz and I will be leaving for Patuscada and Barra de Oitis communities in just over 2 hours time. Liz will be doing the Bible reading and I will be preaching the Gospel at the official inauguration and thanksgiving service for recent 4-legs, toilet/shower unit, chicken runs and market garden projects. I will be preaching Mark chapter 1. Please pray for us as we travel for about two and a half hours to get there with the first part on tarmac and the second on a bumpy earth road ideal for our jeep.
