New Well

Our projects team has been working hard setting up well number 343 at Água Grande Community in the municipality of Santana de Mangueira. The well we drilled produces 1.050 litres per hour and will supply water for 34 extremely needy families in a sprawled out rural community where we have a little church led by Sister Sandra Nogueira.

Yesterday Philip took us to Southampton airport a little after 9 am and we caught the Loganair flight to Newcastle which took about 50 minutes on an Embraer 145 Brazilian made jet. The flight was very smooth drinking tea and eating shortbread biscuits! We were met by my cousin Philip Robinson who took us by train to Sunderland where he had parked his car. From there he drove us to our hotel prior to us going to minister at a church in Sunderland.

Today I preached 3 times. First in the morning at Bishop Auckland where we had an excellent service. The pastor is Kenyan and a convert from Islam. Then I preached at Great Lumley, first in the family service with a good crowd of children present, and then in the main service. Both services were lovely. Tomorrow we head south to Basingstoke.
