Doors opening among Colombia’s Deaf

From the Colombia Deaf Team
Reported in IMB’s CompassionNet Daily News

God is working mightily in the Deaf schools across the country. Several schools had closed their doors to us. They had no interest in any type of assistance or volunteer sport teams, and forbade any type of evangelism. During the months of October and November, though, we were amazed at the schools contacting us and asking for assistance with workshops, school supplies, but most of all, asking for the JESUS film. As each school contacted us, we learned that the person who was blocking our entrance into the schools had retired, resigned, quit or been fired. God is removing these obstacles across the country. Pray for the Deaf who will be reaching out to these schools!
