I share this article as a note of praise to God for what He is doing in this great land. CMT
‘This verse came to my mind when I received the most recent news from the Gaviao work. Horst and Annette Stute have worked with these people for 43 years and now are retiring and returning to Germany. In spite of all the persecution that they encountered during the beginning of the work, they remained steadfast because they believed in the Lord and believed that their work would not be in vain.
At the ‘going away’ party given for them as they left, one of the leaders of the village, the same one who had shot at Horst when he first arrived there, placed a necklace on Horst’s neck as a symbol of gratitude and acceptance.
At the airport there were many Indians singing and praying for the missionary couple. Horst gave his last words of counseling to his children in the faith and there was much crying. How marvelous that they were able to see there the fruit of their labors, in which they had continued ‘steadfast and immoveable”’ "
