Conference

We no sooner get out of one event at Green Pastures than we are getting ready for the next. Our General Conference will be from the 27th to 29th of May and I am working on its agenda in conjunction with the senior leadership team. Prior to this there will be a Teixeira church family day at Green Pastures on May 14th.

I went for a nice walk at Green Pastures on Tuesday afternoon and was thrilled to see how much water the lake now has after the heavy rain on Sunday. Francisco is stocking the lake with fish. He has a friend who is a fisherman who is bringing to us the fish that he catches that are too young for consumption. So far we have 600 Tilapias, 200 Peacock Bass and 50 type of Pike. 

I have been talking to Sandra Nogueira who is the co-leader of our little church in the village of Água Grande (Big Water) in the County of Santana de Mangueira. She has shown me videos and photos of their Easter celebrations with the children telling the Easter story. Simple and beautiful. It is wonderful to see the excellent work this little church is doing with the children of the village. They would like to start a school there which would be very good if funds would stretch to another EAB Action school. With the Ukraine war the pound sterling has dropped a lot in value.

Tuesday night's Men's Fellowship meeting went well with Pastor Lucena in Recife bringing the Bible reflection online to the in-person meeting. It was nice to see and hear Pastor Lucena who has moved away to Recife to live.

This Thursday we had our family traditional hunt the Easter eggs at Green Pastures. It was a nice time of fun together on this public holiday. We couldn't do it on Easter Saturday like we usually do because of the camp.
