NF DEAF
 
Picture
Texas River of Life Deaf Retreat was held April 29th to May 2nd with 59 people in attendance.  The theme was 'Seek Him, Ask Him, Let Him' Psalm 51:10-12.  Everyone enjoyed this year's retreat, they said God showed up big time and touched many of them.  We all went home different, not the same way we came.   We enjoyed Rev. Jimmy Schwyhart's preaching and everyone is still saying, "So That!"   Dennis Davidson was the morning teacher and the music was lead and sang by several people and a choir.   One deaf man was saved, several filled with baptism of Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, several healed from pain in feet and back and one woman healed from pain in knees.   One woman shared her testimony about her addiction to Vidicon and about going to Celebrate Recovery to help her.  Her testimony touched and helped another woman at the retreat who had been addicted to Vidicon but kept the addiction a secret for several years because was still was ashamed and embarrassed about it.   Those 2 women talked and it is no longer a secret, got it out and now has peace!  A hearing man came with his deaf wife (both first time to attend) and God told the man, "Deaf people feel rejected by the church.  I speak many, many languages including their language."   This helped him understand his wife's needs and the needs of the deaf people.  The same hearing man said that when the deaf were praying at the altar to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues he heard a loud 'roaring sound' like the sound heard  in Acts 2:2.
