On Tuesday evening we held an excellent meeting of the leaders of the various ministries of the Patos church. We heard from the leaders of the following ministries: children, adolescents, youth, women, men, seniors, praise & worship, deaf, Christians in action, married couples, and visitation. It was a good time of sharing together praising for the blessings and discussing where things can improve.
I have been having important discussions with Deacons Dedé and Esau regarding the church at the town of Ipueira in the State of Rio Grande do Norte regarding our plans for expansion of the little church there. Please pray for this work.
