Men's Fellowship

On Tuesday night I spoke to the men's fellowship about 'walking with Jesus' through hearing his word, looking to Jesus in faith and following the Lord carrying one's cross. The meeting was led by the Chief of Police Esau and was very good.

QPR have lost again - this time at home to Hull City 3 x 1. 😖

We have been distributing more hair sheep with poor farm dwellers in the municipality of Imaculada. 3 went to the Sitio Gloria community, 1 went to the Sao Agostinho community and the other went to the Sao Goncalo community. All those that received them were very happy and blessed.

My sister Jean has been taken into hospital for surgery for an obstructive strangulated hernia which was causing her agony and lots of vomiting. She was originally seen by an ambulance paramedic who diagnosed a virus! The NHS is not what it used to be!

I have just been to Green Pastures where I saw 2 Burrowing Owls, a Crested Caracara and a Black Vulture.

Yesterday afternoon Liz and I went to visit our 89-year-old deaconess Beatriz who is recovering from double cataract surgery and doing very well. What a wonderful woman of God she is!

Our social worker Marah Danielle is back from her marathon trip to Sao Paulo (2,668 km) and Aracaju (600 km). First of all she spoke at the 4th 60+ Conference with 180 participants. She spoke about our churches in the north-east and about our projects and much interest is reported. Then she travelled to Aracaju to the RENAS conference which unites churches and NGOs who share our interest in integral mission uniting church planting and evangelism with social action projects. She also spoke at this event. It is so good for us isolated up here in the north-eastern semi-arid sertao to have contact and fellowship with our brethren down south.
