Rescued From Depression and Alcoholism
I got these testimonies from our church plants in Vila Safira and Vila Nova. I was greatly encouraged by what the Lord is doing. I hope you will be as well.
Marília and Fabiano are attending the church in Vila Nova. They are pictured with her son Gabriel. She is pregnant; due in December. She is a believer but had strayed from the Lord as a result of hardship in her life. Gabriel's father abandoned them. Her mother struggled with depression and recently hung herself. Marília also deals with depression. The Lord used all of this to get her and Fabiano into church. Fabiano has accepted the Lord and they are being discipled for church membership. They are planning to be married and baptized.
Jusandra is an alcoholic and suffers from depression. She accepted Christ through our church plant in Vila Safira. Today she no longer drinks and is being treated for depression. She is a blessing and is always ready to help out around the church. The Lord is working in her life reconciling relationships that were destroyed due to her alcohol abuse. Recently, she was able to reconcile with her daughter.
It is wonderful to see the Lord transforming lives and families for His glory. People are being rescued from the hopelessness and despair that comes from living in extreme poverty. Relationships are being restored and homes are being built upon the foundation of Christ. It is a great thing to witness the power of the Gospel. Praise Jesus!
