On Saturday night I went to lead the weekly service at Green Pastures and Pastor Rafael preached. Fred, Júlio and Manoel sang songs, but of special note was the group of 8 women, led by Nega, which sang absolutely beautifully. It is lovely to see the local church developing in this place. In fact Green Pastures is a multi-faceted place of Christian ministry. It is a local church, a Christian Conference Centre and a nature reserve which gives a great example to all in our region of caring for God's creation. Please pray for and support Francisco and Leca who are the couple who care for the day to day running of Green Pastures' ministries. In the last 3 days we have had 27 mm (just over an inch) of rain which is most unusual at this time of year and most welcome.
A Boa Constrictor snake caused a great commotion amongst the Cancãos (White-naped Jay) as it was lodged in a tree digesting a large animal, which may have been a wild guinea pig or a giant lizard. The birds kept on crying out greatly distressed by the snake!
On Saturday night the Patos youth had a nice time of fellowship together playing volleyball.
I have been preparing a sermon for ministry at our Glória church in a few weeks time.
Last night I led the service in Patos and the church was full to capacity. The service was good. We heard a lovely testimony from a Veterinary Doctor, who is a member of our church, called Adriana.
