Camp

Extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary measures. Faced with a third wave of Covid in Brazil with 1,074 deaths in the last 24 hours and the number of new cases very high, we have decided not to hold the camp at Carnival from 26th February to March 2nd, but to hold a camp in its place at the Easter weekend from April 14th to 17th. We trust that by April the current explosion of cases will have subsided and for this we value your prayers.

We are busy giving guidance for our new EAB Action School at Barra de Oitis village. We have held meetings with local Pastor Nezinho Abílio and Teacher Malu. Please pray for this new venture of faith. The church building will also double up as the school room where 20 children will learn properly to read and write plus learning basic maths with their times tables. It is sad to see how the local government school largely fails in these basic areas of schooling.

Researchers Rafael Dioni and Wenner from the Federal University's Biology School have started researching Toad tadpoles at Green Pastures.

Our granddaughter Louisa arrived back from the UK at Recife airport on Thursday afternoon and was met by her fiancée Tiago and Clayton from the Patos church who did the driving to Patos. Just before this I took part in an EAB Board meeting which was very good.
