Tavares is a town about a two hour drive south west of Patos and is led by Pastor Roberio who is a strapping big man with a big smile and lovely sense of humour. At the weekend the Tavares church celebrated its 16th anniversary and held a baptismal service when 4 new converts were baptized. The Tavares church has 3 branch churches in the villages of Jurema, Belem and Olho Daguinha Seco.
On Sunday night I both led the main service of the week in Patos and I preached on 'The Goodness of God' which was essentially an exposition of Psalm 119:17-24. The sermon combatted suicide as well. Brazil has 11,000 suicides a year. The praise and worship was led by Sacha and Fabio backed up by Tiago, Ricardinho, Netinho and Rogerio. It was a good service which included our monthly celebration of communion.
