Training for TBLESSA

Last weekend our team was involved in a Evangelism Workshop and it´s main focus was for the Deaf (love it), not hearing folks. They received the training and the broke up into pairs to practice.

Medical Team

This is one of my favorite teams that come to El Salvador. Unfortunately I could only work with them one day. Next year I plan to clear my schedule so I can go with them each day. It´s incredible what they do and the amount of people they see each day.







While the doctors are with the adults, the other group takes the children for singing, dancing and piñatas. Over 500 people accepted Christ in the 4 days they were in the small towns of El Salvador.





This is my friend Beth from the team. She stayed with me one year and I really enjoyed it. I wish I could host someone again, but not being able to drive at night makes it impossible. I did enjoy her the year I could do it.

Wycliffe Bible Translators

Wycliffe Bible Translators had a meeting in El Salvador and so TBLESSA was asked to do the devotion and present our project. I´m so proud of the group, they did a wonderful job. I on the other hand, was having trouble interpreting into English, my own language. It was the simple words that tripped me up, like the book of Mark. Four different languages in my old brain is just too much. Overall I think it went well.

Sunday School

Praise the Lord, Edwin is back teaching Sunday school. He has made a decision to serve the Lord and I truly see a heart change. Grisel is happy for the help. Now they each teach two Sunday´s a month, although there´s a lot of team teaching going on as well.





Working with the Deaf you need to include pictures, dramas and explanations and Grisel and Edwin are doing an excellent job.









With the Deaf teaching Deaf, the clase is growing. Most of the time we are borrowing chairs from the other classrooms to seat them all. God is doing amazing work.








This past Sunday a new Deaf (black shirt) arrived to the class and after "seeing" God´s Word accepted Christ. The other, Violeta in the plaid shirt re-committed her life to God.

TBLESSA

We continue with our Bible Translation. The team has put the first part of the translation into their grammar and Grisel is signing the story to see if they are in agreement with the grammar and the signs. This is the first process and then we put it on video.


José Eduardo is working on the cutting and editing for our Sign Language Video. This is apart from the Bible Translation. There hasn´t been anything in print since 1996. We then ask some of the Deaf from the community to come in and make sure the Spanish and the signs are correct.
