The EAB/ACEV Social Action Conference report shows we helped 41,953 people in the past year with an increasingly wide range of social projects which demonstrate the love of God practically and effectively.
17 more wells benefited 4,301 people. The Moringa tree project benefited another 3,536, the Action Schools another 700, the Care Centre another 3,519, the Playground project another 984 and 27,572 people in poverty and crisis were fed by the Bread of Life and Food Bank projects. Some receiving help from the latter project at the moment have the family bread winner with terminal cancer or AIDS. Some of the cases are so desperate that many of the team cannot cope with even visiting the people in question. Your prayers are valued as we always seek to minister to the poorest of the poor and the neediest of the needy.

The Care Centre food bank presses on and one amazing thing happened. Lila, the coordinator, gave a sack of what we thought was pigs' swill in a sack last week of the fruit and vegetables that were just no good and beyond recovery and use. She thought the lady who received this was going to feed it to her donkey. Lo and behold she has turned up asking for more as she fed her 4 grandchildren very well with it, she told us! Oh my Lord! What terribly desperate needs there are all around us.
In the State of Paraíba in north-east Brazil, where EAB has its headquarters, a report out today from the Ministry of Health shows a 95.2% increase in AIDS in our State over the past 10 years. This is why EAB/ACEV is receiving Tearfund Consultant on AIDS/HIV this Thursday and Friday to discuss how ACEV can get involved in the fight against this awful virus. The MH says they believe AIDS/HIV is greatly under reported and for every one known case there are in fact 5 more existent. Please pray for this important consultation this week on HIV/AIDS. Our plan is for the Kationa M. Graham Care Centre to become our coordination centre of operations for this new EAB/ACEV project.
