Outreach finale

I preached last night in the final evangelistic service of the 10-day outreach. A very large crowd gathered in the main town square of Soledade with our worship group from Campina Grande leading the praise and the dance groups joining in. It was a wonderful service.

This 10-day outreach was the 24th year in succession that we have held them and this year's team of 130 was a real blessing. They evangelized 480 houses and 1,075 people were personally evangelized as well as 423 children. 27 decisions to follow Christ were registered and 12 backsliders recommitted their lives to Christ. We will monitor these numbers to see how many are truly converted. 93 houses asked for a follow up visit. 22 Bibles were distributed and over 3,000 Gospel tracts were given out.

It was very good to have Bible College student from the UK with us this year Amy Gough. She will graduate with a degree in theology in June at the St. Mellitus College in London. I have asked her to write a short report on the 10-day Outreach pointing to what was good and what could be improved. Amy fitted in very well with the team and was especially helped by the English of Alice, Bia and Rayssa. 

QPR drew 0 x 0 yesterday away to Stoke and remain in a mid-table position (11th) in the Championship.
