I have already dispatched the latest EAB Diary Update this morning.


I am very pleased that Philip has been able to arrange a real bonus for the Patos church whilst we’re away and a week this Sunday (18th) he’s been able to agree a visit with a lovely Christian singer and speaker Carlinhos Felix. It’s a real scoop for Philip, bless his heart. The thing is that in Brazil’s evangelical mayhem (not revival as so many who don’t understand the scene call it) evangelical music is such a disgusting money making racket so you have to know who is who and carefully chose genuine Christians! Carlinhos Felix is one of these rare specimens! Please pray for this visit and for the Youth Conference at Green Pastures this weekend prior to it.

We went to spend time with my dear Mum today and were overjoyed with how things have changed since last Wednesday when she was very seriously unwell. She has turned it around and was full of the joys of spring today, laughing, singing, and even quoting Scripture! We thank the Lord for his goodness in giving Mum some more time with us. PTL!

Tomorrow morning we’ll be speaking at Verwood and on Sunday we’ll be at Millbrook in the morning and at West Wellow at night. We value your prayers for all our travels and ministry.

After a wonderful weekend in Larbert, Falkirk, Scotland we got the train back south today and enjoyed a lovely relaxing journey. It was a really blessed weekend and below is a photo of the Larbert Churches Together Celebration we took part in last night.

Now this Wednesday morning we’ll be speaking at the Verwood Chapel at 10:30am and on Sunday we’ll be speaking at the Millbrook Christian Centre in Southampton in the morning and at the West Wellow Chapel at night.


Tomorrow we’ll be heading for Basingstoke to see my Mum who hasn’t been so well. She’ll be 91 next Monday!


News from Brazil is good and the Lord continues to bless the Patos church in our absence. PTL! Please continue to pray for Philip responsible for the leadership in our absence and for his leadership of the annual Youth Conference this coming weekend.

Liz and I spoke at a Couples meeting last night at Larbert Pentecostal Church and it went very well. Today we have had a lovely day too speaking at the church in the morning and at a united churches meeting tonight in Larbert.

We made the most of the lovely weather here in NE England yesterday and went to different beaches/nature reserves. It’s great to see how folk here are working hard at recuperating the damage done by this area’s coal mining days and other industrialization side-effects. Great to see and photograph Seals in the River Tees which had completely disappeared. 


As we were travelling around yesterday afternoon we received word from Jean that Mum was most unwell all of a sudden and this concerned us a lot. Thankfully she has got over it (whatever it was?) and has eaten and drunk again today so PTL!


Tonight we head for Sunderland to speak at the Hylton Castle Church and then tomorrow it’s back on the train to Scotland for a weekend of ministry. I am working on my accent and trying on my kilt!


Below are photos with my cousin Philip of his church and ‘Ark’ we spoke at on Tuesday.

Today we’ve had a very good day of ministry. We had a lovely service this morning at Great Lumley Evangelical Church (below) where we travelled from Horden with my cousin Philip and his wife Debbie. After the service we took part in a church fellowship lunch.

This evening we were in Bishop Auckland at the Wear Valley Christian Centre where the service was wonderful. PTL!

We  travelled from Basingstoke to London on Thursday afternoon and yesterday we made the most of the nice weather to first of all go to Kew Botanical Gardens which was absolutely great. After spending hours there, and doing lots of walking, we headed for North Kensington/Notting Hill where I was brought up. We visited my first house (where I was brought up and lived in childhood and youth). Not much appeared to have changed.

From there we went on to see my first school and my first church – Peniel Chapel. Then to QPR’s stadium etc. It was all lovely.


Now we are all set to leave for the train station to go to Co. Durham for a week’s ministry prior to going on to Scotland the following weekend for ministry there too. Your prayers are valued.

My laptop is now up and running to full capacity. A man at Fleet kindly worked over the weekend to get it working again and replaced the hard disk successfully copying all the data from the old one. However when I received the computer back from him there were still a few lesser, but important, problems to fix which he couldn’t do because of him not speaking Portuguese etc. So yesterday I contacted my technician in Patos who corrected the rest of the problems by remote control from Patos. The mind boggles!


I dispached the EAB Diary Update yesterday. I have also posted news from the 15th anniversary of EAB/ACEV’s 2nd church in Campina Grande which is really flourishing by the grace of God. See photo below from the celebrations.

I have been clearing up the backlog of emails and we are now about to go to the Lavender Farm near West Wellow to have a light lunch prior to going to speak at the Shirley Warren Baptist Church followed by a meal at Ken Rashleigh’s flat in Southampton. Tomorrow we head back to London prior to getting the train to Durham on Saturday for ministry in the north-east of England.
