Tomorrow is children's day in Brazil so all our churches commemorate this with special children's services this weekend. At our Pastor Frank Dyer School in Patos 120 children gathered on the school playground, not to mention the parents. Liz went to this service which she says was absolutely great. I went to a similar service at the Green Pastures Church which was beautiful too with lots of games and food! I have just seen some videos from our Catolé do Rocha church which had a similar service. How wonderful it is to share the Gospel with precious children. "Of such is the kingdom of heaven".
After the service I saw flocks of black Shiny Cowbirds which come into roost in the trees around the meeting hall and get disturbed when we leave the hall.
I have now finished writing the summaries of 1,133 chapters of the Bible which totals 57 of the 66 books. I am now doing the 13 chapters of Hebrews.
2 weeks today, the day after the EAB AGM, Brazil will decide on its president as from New Year's Day, with the second round of the election between President Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Opinion polls show Bolsonaro ahead by 4%. I pray for a president that will care for the poor by distributing wealth, help them with housing, health and education and practice all possible means of social justice. For these are indisputable Christian principles because Jesus said in Matthew 25:40 "Whatever you do for one of the least you do for me!" Please pray! 🙏
