Visitation

On Wednesday afternoon Liz and I went to visit sister Raquel on her 77th birthday. Raquel is bed-ridden owing to knee and hip problems. She is very grateful to the EAB wheelchair bank which has loaned her a wheelchair for a year now. If Raquel was in the UK she would have had hip & knee replacements.

Another person who is being benefitted by the EAB wheelchair bank is Edmilson in the town of Ipueira in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. He has had one of our chairs for about a year and a half now as he broke his leg, but the bone has never healed. Please pray for him.

As the floods receed in the south of Brazil there are still 48,000 people in temporary shelter in schools and gymnasiums. 630,000 people are out of their homes and 114,000 are without electricity. The problems there are gigantic.

I led the mid-week Prayer Meeting and Bible study and Marina & Davi led the praise. Espedita sang a solo, Rafael brought the word from Amos 4 and Marcio, Mada and Deborah Maria read verses of Scripture. It was a nice meeting.

Happy birthday to actor Clint Eastwood who is still acting at 94 years of age, enjoying a 70 year career thus far!
