Getulio, Guanano Bible teacher

As Guanano believers Mario and Getulio recently taught the story about Noah and the flood, they called on their Brazilian friends and relatives to listen to God’s message much the same way Noah must have.

As Getulio taught, he included his own testimony:

“We don’t want to listen to God’s Word because we don’t want to change the way we live. Do you remember the way I used to live? There was one thing that kept me from understanding what God was saying ….. my drinking. After listening to God’s word I would go to parties. I would drink and I would forget what God had said.

“This same thing can happen to you. Parties, and drinking are not what bring us real happiness. It doesn’t give us real pleasure. It only gives us sadness.

“Because of my drinking, for a long time I didn’t want to obey the Lord. Perhaps some of you are just like me. There’s something in your life that you are being stubborn about, something that is keeping you from obeying God.”

The personal testimonies of believers like Getulio have a greater impact on the Guanano people than anything we missionaries can say. They have lived the live that every Guanano lives and have found that Jesus is better.
