It is important to understand that the deaf community is quite complicated and very different from the hearing community. Deaf people who have believed in the gospel, do not change overnight, the change is quite slow, but before, their life consisted of themselves and now they are learning that there is a God who can make their life very different but at the same time they are afraid of that change because they are situations that they had never experienced in their walk through daily life. The fact that we are some brothers supporting them has helped us understand that God does not leave us alone in this new walk. There have been some deaf brothers who, although they did believe, have won the desires of this world; I will not say that they are not saved because only God knows that, but the brothers who still believe have prayed a lot for them to return to the herd. With the testimony of these deaf brothers, a few have returned; we are trusting that the Holy Spirit will return to all the others.
Celaya’s brothers are being attacked by other deaf people who are not brothers, I ask you to pray for Celaya’s brothers because previously they were 20 people sisters but due to influences of other people some have decided to give up the church, we are praying for them to return, in the month of November we have the plan to visit them all so that they return to the church, only 2 people are still standing in Celaya but these 2 people are going through a fairly strong family problem, Marco, Jazz and I are visiting them so that their marriage is restored, so As the marriage of Marco and Jazz was also restored. From Monday to Friday, Celaya’s brothers are meeting via video call and continue to learn about Jesus Christ; the topics we are seeing are about forgiveness and grace.
The Brothers of León keep going; they continue to learn how to forgive each other since, in their past lives, before meeting Jesus, they brought problems among themselves, and now that they know that some of their enemies years ago have met Christ, they have confused feelings. On the one hand, they are happy, but on the other hand they know that they must ask for forgiveness and forgive; it is the case of a deaf brother who, knowing that a deaf man from Celaya believed in the Gospel, had to make the passes with him; it was beautiful to see that scene, and now the two of them are strong in the gospel. The 2 are preparing to serve Christ with all their heart. Celaya’s brother has shown me his desire to be a pastor in the future.
We visited the city of Toluca and Querétaro to give it continuity with some brothers that we have preached the gospel to them, Jazzkara visited Toluca, Toluca is the Capital of the State of Mexico that is attached to Mexico City. And Marco visited Querétaro to be with the brothers right there and continue with the teaching about forgiveness and grace. Celaya’s brother, who is strong in the gospel, accompanied Mark to continue with the discipleship.
On this occasion, we visited a new municipality that is Pénjamo, this municipality is in the southwest of the State of Guanajuato, it is attached to 2 states: Michoacán and Jalisco, her name is Karina; Marco and Jazz shared the gospel with her and yes she believed, but her LSM level is low therefore Marco and Jazz are preparing material to be able to teach her the gospel in a better way. We are preparing material to start some teaching projects on grace, forgiveness, family issues in Christ, using PODCAST all in LSM taking advantage of technology.
In these months, we focused more on visiting Celaya, Irapuato, Pénjamo, León, Toluca, and Querétaro, and the other municipalities through video calls.
We ask you to pray a lot for all the brothers of the municipalities we visit, since all the brothers are going through quite complicated situations. We know that it is the enemy who does not like the idea that the deaf community believes in the Gospel.
We are meeting every Wednesday by video call to learn different topics about grace and forgiveness, from 9 to 11pm, hopefully one day you can connect for a little while and meet some.
Thank you for your attention.
P.S. In November, we will start with the training for marriages, we will start with 3 marriages of the church and then we will open it to marriages of other religions to get to know them and begin evangelism.
