Rain

On Sunday night we received both spiritual and physical rain during our service. It rained 51 mm (just over 2 inches) which cheered our hearts a lot. The service was greatly blessed inside the church too. The praise and worship was led by Sacha, Fábio, Marina and Tiago. It flowed beautifully. My sister Jean watched the service in England and she said afterwards how blessed she had been, and she doesn't speak Portuguese. I led the service and the children took part with a nice song full of actions. Assistant pastor Rafael preached from Ezekiel 37:1-14. Thank you for your prayers for all our churches here. Last Sunday night was the first service when everyone was back in church without social distancing though we still wear masks.

Please do pray for our churches at Soledade and Juazeirinho. At Soledade the church is in a phase of transition to a new pastor. At Juazeirinho there is discontent with the current pastor Léo and we are not sure how to help the situation there.

Thankyou for your prayers for my sister and sister-in-law who both have had road accidents. My sister Joy (car crash) is doing alright, but remains in hospital at High Wycombe. My sister-in-law Eunice (knocked down by a motorbike) is doing alright too, but is going back to hospital for further scans and check-up.
