NamibiaOM InternationalEnglish/Español/FrançaisDuring a recent outreach in Northern Namibia, a team visited a local school at Swartbooisdrift. They met one of the teachers, Uzhera, who introduced them to five-year-old Kauko, the child of her sister who had died a year previously. Uzhera was given Kauko to raise because she is the closest living relative. It soon became apparent that the little girl was born deaf. With tears in her eyes, Uzhera told the team that it was difficult to raise Kauko because they couldn’t communicate. When the child would cry, Uzhera had no way to determine why. That same evening, team leader Paul prayed for this desperate need. The next day, God provided! They found out that Johan, one of the local guides that accompanied the team, knew sign language because his parents were deaf. For two days Johan spent time with Uzhera, teaching her the alphabet in sign language. The team then learned that another guide had been praying for a young man living in Swartbooisdrift who was also deaf. Now, Uzhera could teach Kauko and the young man how to communicate through sign language. Best of all, during this time, Uzhera gave her life to the Lord! Please pray for Uzhera, Kauko and this young man. UN MEDIO PARA COMUNICARSE – Namibia Esa misma noche Paul, el líder del equipo, oró por esta necesidad desesperante. ¡Al día siguiente Dios proveyó! Se enteraron de que Johan, una de las guías que acompañaban al equipo, sabía lengua de señas porque sus padres son sordos. Durante dos días Johan pasó tiempo con Uzhera enseñándole el alfabeto en lengua de señas. El equipo supo que otra de las guías había estado orando por un joven que vive en Swartbooisdrift que también es sordo. Ahora Uzhera puede enseñarle a Kauko y al otro joven cómo comunicarse a través de la lengua de señas. Mejor aún, durante este tiempo, Uzhera entregó su vida al Señor. Por favor ora por Uzhera, Kauko y el otro joven. MOYENS DE COMMUNICATION - Namibie Credit: OM International |
