Osasco Update

God is good!

We had 6 deaf in church this past Sunday (05/17/09) – two from the deaf church in SP that came to help and four others!

We had Renata back again, but this time her (common law) “husband” brought her who is also deaf whose name is André.  Becky scheduled a visit with Renata for this Saturday at 3pm.  André and Renata have a hearing boy named Luis Eduardo who is nine years old.

Giovana (ten years old) came again also, but arrived late.

Becky and I made a visit with Cristiane on Friday, the deaf lady that was saved a few weeks ago.  She showed us her Bible where she had copied Renata’s spiritual birth certificate that David made for Renata.  We found out that Cristiane’s mother became pregnant with her when she was only 17 years old, and tried to abort Cristiane, but instead of coming out dead, she came out deaf.  Now, 30 years later, a girl that should have died by abortion was born again on April 26, 2009.  Becky will start a Bible study (discipleship) with her beginning this coming Friday.  Cristiane is married to a hearing man named William, and they have an 11-year-old daughter named Amanda.

Edson and Sonia came also from the Igreja Batista da Bíblia in São Paulo (IBB-SP).  We actually had more in the morning (40) than we did tonight (36). Read the rest of this entry »
