Brazil as I see it and live it


PRAYER MEETING I am back from a very good prayer meeting despite only 30 present. It was a refreshing time in God's presence. We prayed especially for Marcia whose mother has apparently just had a stroke today. Marcia was there for some of the service and was quite distraught. Marcia is a fine young Christian woman in our church, a Sunday School teacher, door-to-door evangelist and member of the HIV/AIDS project team. I received a wonderful report from a non-Christian about the transformation in the life of a man (whose name I cannot reveal) through the ministry of our church. The man was on drugs and a sometimes operated as a hired killer. Liz was once very nearly accidently killed by him when she got caught up in the middle of one of his shoot outs. A bullet whistled so close to Liz that she heard it clearly. Anyway one day he was going passed our church and Sacha was singing an inspired song and it hit this man and he came in and gave his life to Christ. Now a non-Christian has come to us and told us of how she has observed his changed life and how much better her street is to live in since this man came to the Lord. She lives in the same street as the man. It is stories like these that encourage us to press on with all the hard work. Jesus changes situations and transforms lives steeped in sin and depravation.

One of these is Margi Moss, who has flown round the world in a single-engined plane, and will be flying into Patos this Friday together with her husband Gérard. She contacted me some weeks back, having seen my photos on the internet, about the possibility of a visit here at carnival time and I explained that over the carnival period I would be involved in a camp for 350 to 400 people. Nevertheless where there's a will there's a way - so we'll be squeezing in a chat and perhaps a bit of photography. She has just confirmed their arrival for Friday afternoon. I am not sure which of their planes they will be coming in as they only have six to choose from! Crumbs!

My deadline was last week! I am just waiting for Lynn to proof read it and check the grammar. I have a newspaper article to write for Thursday as well. Oh boy... this week is massive pressure. I will try and get on with Saturday's opening camp sermon now.

It was held in a little poor house where the deceased parents used to live when they were alive. I remember going to the house quite often 38 years ago. Sadly João had been a very heavy drinker for many years so lots of his drinking mates were there making things a bit awkward at times. However one of them came to me and said that he was on the same track as João and said he sincerely wanted to get rid of the addiction and asked me to go to his house and pray for him when I could. After the little service at the house we accompanied the funeral cortege to the St. Anthony Cemetry where I did the committal. We then visited Liz's Dad's grave before heading home. Now back at the office I have already had a visit from a bank person sorting out my internet link and am eating as I work to try and catch up a bit. This morning I mananged to conclude and dispatch the ACEV Brazilian Update.

Then a large lorry, coming into Patos from the Teixeira mountain side, crashed into a high-tension electricity pole and brought down cables all over the place giving us a long powercut in most of the town. This held up preparations and left us not knowing if we would have electricity at church for the service. However, with about an hour to go to the service's start power was restored and it was then a mad scramble to get to church on time. The service started a bit late. The communion service itself went very well. The church was packed out, the sermon was blessed and there was an excellent spirit throughout. We ended at 9.30pm. We were having a snack at home when the phone went from one sister to tell us how blessed she had been at church. Then, about 11.15pm, came another call to tell us that João Macena had died (in his fifties). You may remember that Liz and I visited him recently on his death bed where he came back to the Lord after many years away. We shall see what today brings forth.

I taught both Pastor Schoeps's class (in Natal on his Deaf Sign language degree course) and Margarete's class (in João Pessoa with her work) together. Liz got involved in some counselling afterwards but we had lunch eventually. This evening is the monthly communion service and we have 3 special singing items lined up too from 2 little boys called "João & Cansansão" + Christians in Action & Youth group + a band called "Heaven". I am preaching on 'prayer'. Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 05h17 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] ITALIANS MADE IT! The Italian team that came to see our Moringa Tree plantation, which can be seen in the background of this photo, are seen here with Tarcísio and myself. I am glad to inform one and all that via Ibiara, Spaghetti Junction and Washington they made it back safely to Natal!

The first little bird that poked his head out to chirp good morning to me was a dwarf woodpecker called a Tawny Piculet. It was a nice start to the day. Alice had her siesta with me this afternoon and was most pleased. She pretented to sleep and then I suggested we had a cup of tea, So she went and shouted out, "Tea for the Pastor please"! She is a card! The EAB flight controllers are working overtime on the Italian case. Ben Price re-directed them at Ibiara and Linda Matthews wrote expressing concern that they might get lost at Spaghetti junction! Marian Rashleigh is concerned they might have gone north and got stuck in the USA snow storms! Thank you one and all for your concern. QPR go from bad to worse and managed to lose to the team bottom of the league today and had 2 men sent off. You can't get much worse really! I'm all set to teach Sunday School in the morning and preach at night. Last night Liz and I were counselling someone on the phone at 3am. Lord help us! I hope things are more peaceful tonight.

I went out to the farm with Liz, Lucas and Alice this afternoon to take out a whole load of supples in the build up for the camp starting a week tomorrow. When I got back to the office I had this message awaiting me from Ben Price in Ibiara (100 miles west of Patos) bearing in mind that Natal is east of Patos: "Thought you might be interested to know that a light aircraft just landed in the Ibiara town square and the pilot asked (in a heavy Italian accent) where Natal was"!! Just to set the record straight... I think Ben was joking! Were you Ben?

I immediately whisked them to Green Pastures and showed them round our plantation of Moringa Trees as they desired and answered a long steady barrage of questions about my 15 years experience with the tree. It turns out that the Italian company runs the Natal landfill and is keen to set up a social action project around it. This will be for the good of the environment and the poor on the outskirts of Natal. At the end of the visit they took 30 kilos of seeds (enough to produce about 100,000 trees!) so I was most happy to be contributing to such a worthwhile and large scale project in the neighbouring state of Rio Grande do Norte. The visitors told me they discovered me on the internet as I suspected. A journalist friend got to hear about the visit and turned up at the farm during the visit and recorded interviews with me and the Company's owner for radio. He also took photos and will be publishing a state-wide newspaper article. It's been a tiring hot hectic morning, but well worth it.

They went to Sousa (a 2 hour drive west of Patos) so they are now flying back. They phoned me when they landed at Sousa and asked me where I was. I told them I was at the airport waiting and they said I wasn't because they couldn't see me. I told them that no plane had landed here and asked them to check where they were. They discovered they had flown a lot farther than necessary and were in Sousa! Alitália is as bad as TAP!!

The Methodist Church he went to 3 times never opened the Bible once. A Congregational Church he spoke at twice had the people going into trances in the name of the Holy Spirit. Another Community Church he went to was pure prosperity theology and just a money making racket. At the end we were all called to pray for the evangelical church in Brazil in general. There is a lot to be concerned about. I am off to the airport in the morning to meet the Italian visitors to the Moringa tree plantation. Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 10h51 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] PLANE DUE AT TERMINAL ONE The plane bringing the Italian entourage tomorrow morning to Patos will be arriving at Terminal 1 (there is only one... well it's not exactly a terminal either) at 8.15am. Obviously if it snows (not exactly likely) the flight could be delayed... but other that that the visitors will be received by the EAB Directors and then conveyed by luxury EAB/ACEV Kombi (which has been washed for the occasion!) to Green Pastures farm, which is about a 20 minute drive. From then on we will play it by ear. All I know is that they want to see the Moringa tree plantation. Of course we will need to try and find a slot for them to leave Patos Heathrow (at least we don't have any confusion about Gatwicks and all that) eventually. I have just completed my Sunday night sermon so that's good. In tonight's service I am going to interview Pastor Schoeps about the churches he visited in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo on his holiday. Should be interesting. Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 05h17 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] EARLY BIRD I was in the office at 7am as I have so much to do. I have to prepare my sermon for Sunday (doing this now - please pray) and then prepare two sermons for the carnival camp (one for the opening service on the Saturday and the other for the final service on the Tuesday night). Then I have to prepare my first lecture for the Bible College next week on Integral Mission (which I'll be teaching all semester). This is all on top of stacks of other things I have to do.

We have now been able to invest in a big industrial cooker and oven which will make life for us () in the kitchen easier. Hence Liz and Josa went to set up the kitchen in a totally new format and this included moving the metal cabinet which holds crockery, cutlery etc. However when they moved it they discovered that the cabinet hadn't been moved for years and had dust and dirt an inch thick behind it, despite Tarcísio having guaranteed things to the contrary. But things got worse because as they cleaned everything up they found a coat of pain with a colour from years ago! They had just painted round things! Anyway they eventually got it all sorted... which is just as well as bookings for this year's camp are very high in number. I want to send a big happy birthday to my niece Sarah there in Basingstoke! I hope you enjoyed your ecard Sarah. God bless you and lots of love from us all. I have been handling a mass of things today. I had a meeting about the special united church outreach in June in Patos which has the possibility of bringing to Patos the number one Brazilian evangelical singer, Aline Barros. I have also had a lot of project discussions and paid the workers.

As he only got back on Saturday to Patos, having been away on holiday since Christmas, we had lots to catch up on. We had a wide-ranging discussion and then worked on the organization of the Bible Colleges at Princesa Isabel and Patos. The new academic year starts this month in Brazil. The prayer meeting was really good last night with 37 present and a great spirit. To have a Tuesday night prayer meeting going with a whoosh is really positive. PTL! I try to keep to my two walks a week schedule so yesterday morning I was off to Green Pastures bright and early and had a good relax. Tarcísio couldn't walk with me as he usually does as he is going like the clappers for the camp. I saw stacks of birds and photographed the White-winged Becard for the first time (a pair), plus a Rufous-bellied Thrush and a pair of Aplomado Falcons plus a lot more. It was quite a morning! The Italians, who are coming on Friday to see our Moringa tree plantation, have confirmed this morning that they will be flying into Patos's "Heathrow" in the morning so I have told them I'll pick them up off the runway and take them to the farm in the Kombi! Quite a come down! Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 11h58 AM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] ITALIANS ON THE PATOS RUNWAY I had a phone call this afternoon from an agronomist who works with an Italian group of businessmen who want to come and visit our Moringa tree plantation on Friday. I am told they are going to fly into Patos's little airport in their private jet from Natal! Crumbs! I produced and then sent out the EAB Nutshell Updates this morning and I am writing an email to all our leaders at the moment to make sure that everyone coming to the carnival camp knows our rules and regulations before they arrive as last year a group hacked a Boa Constrictor to death soon after arriving and before the camp had even officially started! Suddenly today a light has shone at the end of the tunnel of the 280 wheelchairs we are trying to import for the poor. I have been bashing my head against a brick wall for ages on the importation, as I have to find an organization correctly documented as philanthropic so as to import free of collossal import duty. I had lots of promises and false leads and when I finally found an organization they refused to cooperate with us. However... today out of the blue I received belated birthday greetings from a Rotarian in Natal who I have actually never met but who has been helpful on projects in the past via email. So I asked her and she knows an organization and the ball is rolling once again! Please pray and watch this space as I am now chasing the wheelchair owners from the foundation in the USA.

She also had a check over the preparations and discovered some extra things that need fixing. The countdown is on for the 13th. Please pray. I am busy catching up on a mass of emails, receiving telephone calls, wrote a Patos 'think-tank' blog article complaining about the bad condition of the Patos streets which hopefully will get the Mayor moving - and I'm now about to write the EAB Nutshell Update if I don't get too many more interruptions.

Church was full but not overfull. The church presented a number of further items with respect to my birthday. All very nice. Then Pastor Gersé brought a short message. It's been a good day. PTL! Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 11h21 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] A GOOD DAY My birthday is running along nicely. When I got home for lunch I found the bedroom had been invaded by folk from the church, whilst I was here in the office this morning, and they had plastered posters all over the place wishing me a happy birthday and expressing words of thanks to me as their pastor etc. They left loads of chocolates too and a little ornamental bird (I wonder why?) which emits lovely bird songs when you press a button. They also left loads of individual messages. It was all quite amazing. The grandchildren also got in on the act and Louisa had written some lovely things to me and drawn lots too. She had to make some rushed adjustments however as her Dad told her I was 64, and not 61, so she had to rush some alterations bless her. Sometimes I wonder on which planet Philip lives! Then we had a lovely Christmas family dinner together with turkey and stuffing and Christmas pudding! During the afternoon the youth and 'Christians in Action' group also sent me a basket of food for tea!! Wow! They really are looking after me and trying to fatten me up! On top of all this have been phone calls from Mum and Jean (and ecards from them) plus facebook messages and emails and phone calls non-stop from all over the place. It is being a lovely day. PTL! Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 06h57 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] 61 AND STILL PLAYING OFF THE FRONT FOOT You will need to understand cricket to understand the headline! Alice gave me "Happy Birthday" in bed about 6am and asked me where the cake and the candle were? She would have been happy for me to blow the candle out as long as she ate the cake. Then Liz brought be in a cup of tea and remarked that I was in finer form than a year ago, which is true. I feel fine. They then gave me a pair of pyjamas, a pair of shorts and 2 pairs of socks! I then went and had a coffee at Deborah's and heard about her trip to João Pessoa. I must say I was concerned to hear about Esther's excessive work load and not too special health. Deborah gave me a James Taylor CD (which I'm listening to now) and some soluble food to attract yet more humming birds! Pastor Schoeps got back yesterday so he is teaching his Sunday School class again and I am able to have an easy morning on my birthday - just leading the service this evening. Many thanks for ecards received today from Marian, Joy & Laurence, Jon & Eunice, Ben & Miriam and Pastor Lindon Carlos and Vânea. I managed to get the ACEV Brazilian Update out last night which was a joint operation between Sacha and myself. My ornithologist expert friend gave me the good news that I photographed both a Pearly-breasted Cuckoo and an Aplomado Falcon on Friday! I also recorded the song of a White-winged Becard (which I actually saw but didn't managed to photograph) - so my total of species identified is now up to 189. Just 11 to reach my double century!

The meeting was good and fairly productive. This year's EAB AGM was discussed and I will announce details once final details are defined. This year's EAB InTouch magazines were also discussed, the Uruguay Project etc. Yesterday I took off early to Green Pastures (around 6am) and got back to Patos for lunch after 1pm. It was a lovely relaxing time. I think I registered yet more bird species which are new to my photographic and audio collection, but I await expert ornithologist definitions and confirmations. We continue working on a variety of details linked to preparations for the carnival camp due to start 2 weeks today. The P&W groups rehearsed again last night. I received another ecard for my birthday tomorrow from Sam & Gerti in Switzerland and a congrats email from Ken & Pat White. Many thanks. Alice got into bed with me at 2.40am and stayed until 5am when I managed to put her back into her cot. Bless her. Both her and Beatriz made cameo appearances in the EAB Board meeting today! So did Roy Dyer's dog! January is the UK's August holiday month so people are starting to return now. EAB/ACEV worker, Josinete, got back from São Paulo yesterday and Pastor Schoeps returns from there today. Deborah and family return from João Pessoa today as do Lynn and family tomorrow.

Philip and family and Sacha and family are in Patos. Baby Beatriz is doing great and will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Alice, her sister, has her ups and downs at coping with the new reality but on the whole is doing fine. Alice is playing with her cousin Lucas at his house right now. Liz's ankle never completely gets back to normal, but it's a lot better than it was, and I am preparing for my 61st birthday this Sunday. I have already received an e-card from Vivien Warne who is a distant relative of Liz whom I discovered some years ago whilst family tree hunting. I spoke to my Mum this morning on the phone in Basingstoke. She sounded fine. My brother-in-law, Laurence, had his 65th birthday last week. Lots of people are signing up for the carnival camp which starts on February 13th. Much preparation is going into this. Every year we do a complete revamp of all the loos, showers, rooms, kitchen, water pumps etc. It is a mammoth job. Then there is the spiritual programme to prepare, the music etc. I hear that the music practice last night went very well indeed. Today I had a long discussion with Pastor Wostenes who is in the federal capital, Brasília, doing a course related to Bible Colleges, and also trying to sort out a problem linked to a project we did some time back at Teixeira up in the mountains. I will be off to the Bible study shortly in the Patos church.

I have had a long meeting today with the candidate I supported four years ago for Federal Deputy (Lower House of National Congress) whose name is Bonifácio Rocha. He has been a town Councillor in Patos in the past and he missed getting a place in Congress in 2006 by just one place. I will continue to support him this year and do all I can to help him get elected this time round for a number of reasons. Firstly because he is honest and has a good political track record for being upright and trustworthy. Secondly because Patos and region badly needs a representative in the Congress. This morning I went walking before 6am at the farm I went to last week in São José de Espinharas County and on top of getting a much better photo of the beautiful Scaled Dove I also identified a new species for me (number 185) - a "Lesser Yellowlegs" - which is another bird which hunts its prey around the edges of muddy lakes. I have had a further good discussion on MSN with Betânia in Uruguay today. Praise God she sounds more cheerful after the ordeal she has been through. Please pray for Betânia who will be coming back to Brazil for a break whilst Nadja stays on in the work there. Please pray for the Uruguay project in general. It is a very needy country. Philip, Sacha, Biba and band have been practicing for the carnival camp which starts 2 weeks on Saturday. Please pray. I have dispatched a load of Moringa tree seeds today and more will go out tomorrow too.

There was a lovely spirit of prayer and one non-Christian came for prayer which I am encouraging. This afternoon Liz and I visited 55 year old João Macena who was a teenage accordian player in our church when I came to Brazil. Sadly he long went away from God and is dying with cancer. It was quite a shock to see him today. Great news is that the artist, Washington, has had a tremendous turn around in his health. He is out of intensive care and has had surgery done on his legs repairing the fractures. Biba, who works at the hospital, went and spoke to him tonight and told him how much the church has been praying for him and he told Biba he would like to come and give his testimony of thanksgiving when he gets out of hospital! PTL! I have had a rush of orders for Moringa tree seeds today and have been sorting that out too. The carnival camp is 2 weeks on Saturday so we are flat out on that front too. My bird species tally is now up to 184 with the spotting of a Planalto Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias fasciatus) last Friday and which was successfully identified today by a biologist friend today. Escrito por John Philip Medcraft às 09h57 PM [] [envie esta mensagem] [link] VERY TIRED I usually feel pretty exhausted after weekends. If I am not ministering somewhere on the Saturday then I am preparing to minister on the Sunday (as was the case this weekend but not the last). This of course is then followed by ministry all day Sunday. Added to the stress of everything is not having Liz there at church (she's helping Sacha with Bia). I just do not like being without Liz. I just don't function right if she is not at least there (even if she says nothing). I get home from church and slowly, very slowly unwind, and get to bed late. However this morning Alice was going bananas in her cot before 5am and asking for Grandma. Grandad is not in her good books today. All this adds up to a pretty tired John this morning. Sorry this is a bit mopey but as I always say... my blog tries to always be honest and open and talk about "Brazil as I see it and live it". Your prayers are always valued. Thanks. Lucas is back in Patos so Alice is dying to see him. I guess they'll meet up this afternoon and the hugs are going to be long! Deborah and family are in João Pessoa now at Esther's. Please pray for the artist some may remember called Washington. He is seriously ill in the Patos General Hospital's ICU having been knocked off his motorbike by a totally irresponsible driver who did an illegal u-turn in Patos. He has exposed fractures, broken ribs and is in a mess, having been knocked for 6 by this crazy driver. Washington is known for the way he rides his motorbike slowly and cautiously but this whirlwind came from nowhere. Please pray for healing and justice. Sallie Irish, EAB's ActionChild Project leader, is back from Zimbabwe. I just hope she stops wearing those grass skirts as it's a bit breezy in Hampshire I hear!

I have yet to find someone so committed as Philip. The service went well and the church was full. I preached on most of the book of Philippians in one go - though the main thrust was the latter part of chaper 3 and the first bit of 4. It went well and between 20 and 25 Christians came to the front for prayer as a result at the end. A lady with cancer came to me for prayer after the service too. I took some people home after church and have just had supper before heading for bed.
