Brazil in massive crisis!

The country is in uproar! The government gives in to the strikers in everything but the strike doesn't end! Supplies of everything you can imagine are running out including food, medication etc. Travel is virtually impossible as you can't get petrol. The strike is now in its second week. Please pray. 

See what the BBC says today which is a very timid report but better than nothing. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44275782

For me a Coup D'état is clearly the aim of mainy involved in this uprising. Please pray!

Government gives in to strikers

After church last night I heard President Temer announce on TV that he had agreed to all the demands of the petrol tanker drivers who have been on strike for a week and paralysed the country. Even funerals were being stopped! Absolute chaos and anarchy. Now it remains to be seen if in practice the strike is over as announced.

That was the week that was!

Wow! What a week! The EAB Field Conference was great but it only happened by the skin of its teeth! This is because of the Petrol tankers' drivers' strike now a week old and continuing! Some how our folk managed to get to the Conference at Green Pastures and it was greatly blessed. PTL! The whole event was wonderful!

However the strike carries on and it is holding the country to ranson. Food starts to run out in shops, doctors and nurses can't get to hospitals, schools will be shut down this week and so it goes on. It is an horrific situation. Please pray.

The service tonight in Patos was very good.

Liz continues to be a lot better in health. PTL!

Road blockades continue but so will the Conference!

The ridiculous outrageous road blockades, caused by the petrol tanker strikers and associates, continue despite temporary agreement  reached with the government last night. It is what's known as anarchy! Nevertheless a lot of our leaders have already got through the blockades and are already at Green Pastures for the Conference start. Your prayers are valued. We look to God for a great conference.

Conference saved by the bell?

Petrol tankers' drivers' strike latest: The press is right now announcing that the national government and strikers have reached an agreement to resume petrol supplies and unblock roads for a fortnight whilst a longer term agreement is reached. If this is confirmed in practice at morning light this Friday it will mean EAB/ACEV's annual conference has been saved by the bell! Thank you for praying.
