Prayer matters
John, Naomi and Francesca visit 20 Nov - 5 Dec 2005
Andrew's sister, Naomi, husband John and daughter Francesca are due to arrive on Sunday morning, staying for two weeks. In the first week they have asked us to do the normal things – and we have the usual teaching programme etc. But we want to take time out with them – and need to. In the second week, we are going to Rio and Foz de Iguaçu.
Daniel and Priscila's wedding 3 Dec 2005
We return on Saturday, 3 Dec, for Daniel and Priscila's wedding - a bi-lingual wedding, virtually everything being said twice! Please pray for a real ministering of the gospel, and for Alana, who will be translating Andrew's Portuguese into English! The text has now been chosen - Ecclesiastes 3.
Andrew visit to Belo Horizonte 7-12 Dec 2005
Andrew will be returning to Belo Horizonte to work with the pastors of First Presbyterian on narrative preaching - especially the gospels. (8,9 Dec) On the Saturday (10) the Baptists in the city are holding a day conference on expository preaching, and Andrew has been asked to take one talk. On Sunday (11) he will be speaking at the Reformed Baptist Church in Conselheiro Lafaiete (about 70 miles from BH) in the morning. In the afternoon he will return to Belo Horizonte to speak at the English service of (we think) Ninth Presbyterian before preaching at First Presbyterian in the evening.
Please pray for safe journeys - including between the two cities. Cora will not be going, and Lívia will be away at her sister's wedding, but for Andrew this will also be a good chance for fellowship with Rodrigo before he and Lívia move to Haywards Heath for 18 months on 6th January.
