EAB/ACEV's market gardens project continue to flourish. Our projects' team monitored the latest editions of this project at Macambira dos Lúcios and Maxixeiro communities this week. The Maxixeiro market garden is already selling an average of 400 lettuces a month @ 55 pence each plus 400 bunches of coriander @ 45 pence each. The Macambira dos Lúcios market garden is also selling equally well with a contract to supply local schools with its organic products. This project is therefore an excellent means of increasing income for poor families through helping people to help themselves.
I called in to visit this week's 'young at heart' seniors meeting and was very warmly received. They insisted that I should eat a snack with them and it was very nice. I also visited the nearby building work at the Care Centre which continues to progress well.
Perlânio is one of our sign language interpreters who works as an interpreter at a school in Pernambuco state. Last night he lost control of his motorbike at 11 pm returning from work and fell into a ditch. An ambulance took him to hospital but he seems to be alright and has now been sent home where Liz and I have just visited him. Please pray for Perlânio.
On Saturday night I led the service at Green Pastures and a group of young people led the praise: Segundo, Michelle, Davi and Michael. Bible college student Ray preached on prayer. I also led the Sunday main service in Patos and Murilo preached very well on Hebrews 10:19-25.
Sadly on Saturday QPR lost at home to Sunderland 3 x 1. A QPR player was sent off after only 22 minutes when we were leading 1 x 0. These referees have no heart! 😖
