News from Brazil

Good news from Brazil is that a 7-year-old girl called Isabela, who is part of our Action School at Ibiara, has made a serious commitment of her life to Christ. The local pastor Naldinho and his wife Vera visited her parents telling them of her decision, and they have respected it and said they will take her to the services at church from now on. Please pray for Isabela and her parents.

A team from the Patos church went on Wednesday night to hold the first service at new convert Glória's house near Green Pastures. She was converted recently at one of the weekly services we hold at Green Pastures.

Please pray for Jakeline from the Patos church who had a nasty fall in her home and broke an arm with a complete break. I have seen the X-ray and I would think it will need surgery. 

It is lovely to hear from our projects team of the uncontainable joy of the family at Tamandua Community in the municipality of Diamante who are in the process of having the first toilet/shower of their lives. The father José says: "Having a toilet for our family is a dream that God is fulfilling for us"!

I have just read the little book: 'The Prayers of Jane Austen'. What a joy to feel the faith of such an extraordinary author and realize that she was such a sincere Christian, daughter of a pastor.

I have just eaten my second lot of fish and chips since being in the UK. This time it was cod whereas the first time it was huss.

We will be travelling up to the north-east of England tomorrow speaking at Hylton Castle Mission, Sunderland tomorrow evening. Then we will be speaking at Weir Valley Christian Centre on Sunday morning and at Great Lumley Evangelical Church on Sunday afternoon. We will return to Basingstoke on Monday, September 8th, which is Liz's birthday.
