Grisel and Griselita: Last year Grisel´s husband abandoned her and her daughter. As you can imagine, it has been a very difficult time for them both. Last December she came to my house and I was blessed to be able to lead her to Christ. She is now attending my church and growing spiritually in her relationship with the Lord. However, because it´s a Baptist church and she grew up Catholic she feels she´s betraying Catholicism. I´m trying to teach her that what I´m teaching her is the Bible and about a relationship with Christ not religion. Her family also doesn´t accept her changing churches. Pray for strength and obedience.

LESSA Translating Team: This is the translating team. We meet each Saturday from 8am to 12noon to work on translating the American Sign Language Books into Salvadoran Grammar. They have no literature for teaching their language to the hearing (or the deaf for that matter). We are currently on Unit 11 with only one more unit to finish the first book. Five more books in order to finish. We are going line by line changing the grammar from ASL to LESSA. As you can see this is very tedious and time consuming. After we go through line by line we also have to put in on the computer. Please pray for speed in finish this project.

This is Fernando and he´s the newest member to the team. His parents are Alba and Misel. This is Fernando´s first sign: I love you!

Help Needed: Because of the extent of this and other major projects in the ministry I could use some help. I ask for prayer for someone to come and help with "computer work". It could be someone who wants to volunteer a week, several months or longer, to come to El Salvador and minister by putting these books on the computer. The person wouldn´t need to know Spanish or Sign Language, just the ability to type!

Saturday GED Program: Please pray for our classes on Saturday. We have about 30 Deaf who are attending school to learn how to read and write. They range from about 17-35 years old with a few in their 60´s. Because their first language is Sign Language, it´s really difficult for them to learn a second language, Spanish. Please pray for the teachers to come up with ideas for teaching them.

Carlos and Ronald: These two gentlemen are part of our Saturday GED Program. During one of the Bible lessons, I was able to pray with them to accept Christ as their Savior. Please pray that as I continue to teach the Bible lessons each Saturday that God will open their hearts and minds for understanding. They both have started coming to church on sundays. Praise the Lord.

There are many leaders within the ministry, but these are the ones that I work closest with. Please pray for each of us that as we minister to the Deaf, that in everything we do we are following God´s Will and giving Him the glory.
