Baptism

On Sunday morning 5 were baptized at our Sao Vicente do Serido church which is led by our sister Nenem Guimaraes. She is doing an excellent job.

The leader of our little church at Umburana is sister Leonarda and we have just received word that she is pregnant. Please remember these women leaders in your prayers.

Our Sunday services in Patos went well. Liz says the Sunday school in the morning was down in numbers but was blessed. I led the main service of the week at night which was our monthly communion service. The church was packed out to capacity. Of special note was the solo sang by Fabio which was beautiful.

The floods in the south of Brazil have brought utter chaos with thousands of houses having water up to their roofs and many lives lost. Sadly some people are exploiting the tragedy, as we have been told by a friend who managed to escape, that people with boats are charging R$500 (83 pounds) to rescue people from their roof tops!
