Pastor ill

Joao George is the assistant pastor of our Imaculada church up in the mountains. He was operated on recently and is now back in hospital with post-op complications. Please pray for him. I am in daily contact with his wife Jacilene about the situation. 

Our grand-daughter Louisa and her husband Tiago travelled to the UK yesterday where they will stay until the end of July. It will be the first such an experience for Tiago so that will be nice. They will of course be staying at Basingstoke with Louisa's parents and brothers.

On Saturday our grand-daughter Beatriz (Bia) won the State of Paraiba's silver medal for girls table tennis losing in the final by 3 sets to 1. Paraiba is a state nearly 3 times the size of the country of Wales so she did very well. Bia and the gold medal winner now go on to compete in the Brazilian national table tennis championship in Recife later in the year.

On Saturday night I travelled to the town of Passagem to conduct the communion service and it went very well. The local leader Eduardo brought the message from Genesis 41 and was very good.

I led the service last night in Patos and preached on the promises of God from Psalm 119:49-56, continuing my series in Psalm 119. It was a good service. I do one block of 8 verses at a time so this was the 7th sermon in the series.
