Praying Parents

Stacy, Graci, Tati, Fernanda, Becca and Emil.

This is Graci and Fernanda and they are GRN recordists in Brazil.  We have had the privilege of building a friendship with them over the past five weeks.  One of the blessings of us being here is hearing the testimonies of those on our team.

Graci, at the age of five, heard a missionary share at church and ask the children if anyone wanted to grow up to become a missionary and serve God.  Graci raised her hand and they prayed for the Lord's leading on her life.  Her family continued to pray and as a teen she began her mission adventure.  She's only in her early 30s, but has already lived with a tribe for five years, learned their language, developed an alphabet for them and taught them to read!   While with the tribe she had a GRN recordist come to make a recording of the gospel message for these people.  When she saw the impact it had she decided to join the organization and become a recordist.  She works in hard to reach jungle areas alongside Fernanda (also in the picture).

Fernanda is only 29 years old.  Her mother prayed before she was born that she would be a missionary.  She too was called in her teens, went to school to become a nurse and joined the GRN team.  She serves the Lord in ways most of us only read about in books.  These young women are truly godly humble servants of the Lord.  They are also great examples of what happens when parents pray!  The Bible says that it is our responsibility to train our children in the way of the Lord.  Let's pray for our children!
