Isaiah 35:3,5 “ Strengthen ye the weak hands and confirm the
feeble knees------the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the
deaf shall be unstopped”
Exodus 4:11 “------who maketh the dumb or deaf?-----have not
I the Lord?”
If you had to give up one of your 5 senses, what would it be?
Smell? Taste? Touch?
Perhaps the most difficult challenge to deal with is to be deaf? Without hearing it is very difficult to
communicate and enjoy so many wonderful things in the world. We don’t know why the Lord gives to some the
challenge of deafness, but of one thing we are sure, that the deaf will someday
hear perfectly well!
There are actually 2 kinds of deafness. One the Lord gives you. The other is by choice—turning a deaf ear to
the Lord.
This was a good week highlighted by our visit to the “Escuela
Nacional Sordomudos”, a school for deaf children. Like so many schools, they seem to operate on
a shoestring, yet are accomplishing some great things for a very needy group of
people. We will purchase some things the
school needs and the local members will paint the inside and outside of the
school.
We also said goodbye to Benny Lilly and his wife Denise. Benny finished a 4 year assignment here as
the Area Welfare Manager. We have worked
with him in our assignment and learned a lot from him.
