On Friday night Liz and I travelled to a town called Passagem which is 37 km east of Patos. I preached the Gospel at our little church there which is lead by Eduardo and Cleide, helped by their son Davi who plays the guitar well. It was a lovely service.
On Friday we received a surprise visit from sister Felismina. She is a dentist who used to be a member of our church in Patos and now lives with her husband Pedro in Portugal. Pedro is Portuguese. She told us how badly they missed our church after their move abroad.
The 'young at heart' group of seniors met at sister Socorro Help's house this week instead of their usual venue of the care centre. The meeting was really blessed as they encouraged Socorro Help who is far from well.
The 2022 census shows that there are 11.4 million illiterate people of 15-years-old and over in Brazil. EAB's action schools are but a drop in the ocean, but we are contributing towards the solution of this problem as we make sure that over 800 children learn to read and write well.
Last night I took the service at Green Pastures which was good despite low numbers. Yesterday at our Flores church Pastor Nemias (Nehemiah) baptized 3 new converts. PTL!
