A glimpse into deaf church

Today we want to share some pictures from our most recent deaf church service. These pictures are so good because there was a kind photographer and her daughter who came from Iowa to visit Portugal. Here are some moments that she captured.

Greeting each other before church.

Laura always has a friendly smile!

Helping Grampa Cal play the drum.

Carlos introducing a friend.

Fellowship time is especially important with the deaf

Discussion is also very important.

Singing!

“Jesus brings joy into my life!”

The deaf feel the vibrations from the drum and keep time to music.

Pray for the deaf in Portugal.

We often do a drama to illustrate the point of the message. Here Joyce (our missionary colleague) is an “atheist” trying to help Sarah find her way to heaven.

Amanda (also our missionary colleague) is a “party girl” giving advice to Sarah

Finally, “Jesus” comes to show Sarah the way to heaven.

Praying at the end of the service.

Thank you for praying for us and for Portugal!
