Rolando leading Forrest to Pedro's house.
La semana pasada Forrest, Katey y yo fuimos a Barrio la Cruz para placticar sobre detalles para un equipo de misiones este año, tambien para discutir la posibilidad de un capacitación en el metodo inductivo para estudiar la Biblia.
En la primera conversación fue con Roland, uno de los ancianos en la iglesia. Rolando es ciego pero el nos enseño su pueblo. Su corazon esta inclinado a su pueblo y el tiene mucha sabaduria y “vision” clara.
La primera casa donde fuimos fue la casa de “Pedro”. La familia de Pedro viva a la par la casa de Rolando. Rolando nos quería a conocer la familia y entender la gran necesidad en la familia. Aprendemos la historia de Pedro que rompio nuestros corazones.
Pedro tiene 5 años y sufre con is 5 years old and suffers with parálisis cerebral. Pedro no es simplemente un niño que lucha con una enfermedad, es una personalidad atractiva. Es una imagen de la alegría. Y es una oportunidad para que Dios se mueva y satisfacer las necesidades.
Pedro has been supplied with a “vertical wheelchair” that affords him some freedom in his small home and allows him to be upright for short periods of time. He has also received therapy on a regular basis over the last year. His mom told us that the therapy really makes a difference in Pedro’s progress and in his demeanor.
The problem is that the money for therapy is running out and in order to keep Pedro in this life-changing physical therapy, his family needs to raise the funds necessary.
Pedro’s full-week therapy could be covered by just $200 per month. Servants 4 Him would like to help cover this cost and we need your help to do so! All we need are 10 people who would be willing to give up going out to lunch two days a month…and instead of dropping $10 at Chipotle and another $10 at Chick Fil A (w/the milkshake), you could invest that same $20 per month in the life of wonderful child who claps his hands to show his joy.
