Last night Philip and I travelled to the ex-landless settlement of NS Aparecida II in the County of São Mamede. We went there as part of the Patos men's fellowship to hold a service in front of Paulo and Dodora's house. It was a dark night with little moon but 64 people gathered there to hear the Gospel. This is a very good number for a such out of the way place. It was an excellent service.
Philip led the praise with his guitar and others that took part were Dodora, Paulo Silas, Dedé, Manoel, Juliana and Rose. Philip and I sang a duet in English which the people loved. It was 'Fool's Wisdom' which takes you back a bit! Can anyone remember this song from about 60 years ago? It is a Malcolm and Alwyn song.
Chief of the Police Coronel Esau led the service and I preached on Mark 1:9-20 focusing on Jesus' baptism, temptation and his calling of his first disciples. It went very well. After the service the hosts served everyone with hot dogs and diet coke and everyone stayed chatting till quite late.
