Hearing, anyone?
We arrive at the mission church in Lantana to lead a women's afternoon Bible study, but God orchestrated another meeting first. A weary and frantic mom, Lily, relayed an urgent prayer request for her son.
Antonio is a six year old adorable young boy who cannot hear. He had hearing aids that were provided by a local charity that lasted three years. The aids must have worked somehow as he can make a few sounds and mimic sounds. However, his hearing improved dramatically with the hearing aids. Plus, his mother could actually understand him. They could communicate. What a precious gift for a mother! (Side note....isn't that something we all take advantage of daily????)
Hearing aids are expensive especially here in Guatemala...$900 for a pair. How is a family with no father and little income supposed to pay for that?
God's plan is for the body of Christ to provide for one another. So, a need was presented. And, a member of the body stepped up. Hannah. She heard the need and God prompted her heart to provide. God is good.
That's good stuff people. Really good.
