Census

The 2022 Brazilian census shows that out of Brazil's population of 215 million, 49 million are without adequate drains and 4.8 million are without piped water. EAB's well drilling carries on!

Next to our Pastor Frank Dyer school in south Patos is a quite large area of land. We have long wanted to do an exchange with the owner of the land with a piece of land we have in east Patos, but the owner refuses to do the deal. However he has now agreed to rent the land to us for 85 pounds a month with a hope (he says) of doing the exchange deal in a couple of years' time. This land will be a wonderful help to our school as it will finally give the children a playground and will give us space for our football workshops for teenagers. It will also give us space for our evangelistic services that we hold there. Please pray for the exchange deal to work out.

The mighty QPR beat Rotheram at home 2 x 1 yesterday! It means that this is the first time we have got out of the relegation zone since September! 😁

Last night I led the weekly service of our Green Pastures church. It was very good with a good number present. Services were also held at our Patos school and at Ipueira. Saturday is a night on which the Patos church spreads out in a variety of directions. The deaf have there big weekly get-together too.
