What an awesome day today! Dr. Madalena spent an hour and twenty minutes with Rayane, her mom Fatima, and me.
She wants Rayane to attend her program for autistic children, here in Natal. It’s a school that will teach Rayane to talk, read, write, use a computer, dress herself and interact with others. Rayane would attend three times per week, and Dr. Madalena says transportation can be arranged, through the government.
We sat there just overwhelmed by how much hope there is for this little girl now. Fatima is stunned to think of all that her daughter should be able to learn; she thought her daughter was “simple.”
And then, on the way back to Aningas, Fatima started asking questions about salvation! She asked if she had to forgive people that had hurt her before she could get saved. This started a conversation about the difference between God’s free gift and our works.
God is providing a doctor for Rayane and schooling. At the same time, He is showing Fatima that He is real and He cares for her. He is giving us a chance to tell Fatima about His salvation. And He is filling us with joy, just to think how faithful and true and wonderful He is.
