The Hand of God Restores a Family

Manuela, a mother of three children, lives in a neighborhood called Rumihurco. Since the beginning of her marriage, she has had many problems with her husband who was very male chauvinist. He smoked, drank and often physically attacked her. After some time, he abandoned his wife and Manuela raised her children on her own.

She worked long hours to meet the needs of her family and often returned from work very late. One evening, on her way home, she noticed a movie was being shown in the plaza. She stayed until the end of the film. When the Jesus Film leader gave the invitation, Manuela was the first to accept Christ.

Since that night, her life has improved. She feels accepted by the church and her pastor. The joy of the Lord is in her face and she is living happily with her children. She has forgiven her husband and they are back together. The hand of God has greatly impacted this family. They are now faithful members in the new church plant in Rumihurco.
