The County of São Mamede's five-a-side football-in-the-sand "Beach Soccer" tournament started yesterday and our Green Pastures team played a team called Parrot in the first game and won 3 x 1. Each team plays 3 matches in the initial group stage. Watch this space!
Our 20-year-old grandson Arthur is a bit of an academic genius. He is studying law at university and passed in first place for work experience with a judge. Then yesterday he sat an exam to work in the offices of the plain clothed police which I wouldn't be surprised if he passes. He speaks 4 languages. I don't know what he will end up doing in life, but the most important thing is that he loves the Lord.
Yesterday I sent out the latest EAB Diary Update which is a copy of this blog which I send out by email twice a month. If you don't receive it and would like to then kindly send me an email.
I have had some important discussions with ACEV deputy-chairperson Pastor Wostenes about a solution regarding the leadership of our Soledade church. The previous pastor there called Ângelo resigned at the end of November. Since then the Soledade church has been receiving rich ministry from our two excellent Campina Grande churches both all day Sunday plus a mid-week service. All the different age groups in the church are receiving attention and the church has perked up a lot with more in the services and much more hopeful and positive attitudes. Please pray for the Soledade church as we seek new leaders for it later this year. There is a possibility of a young couple taking on the job who are from Campina Grande. The husband has graduated from our Bible College and his wife will soon be graduating too.
