Happy Mother’s Day! — Luke Everett and the Rancho Sordo Mudo
To all of the Mothers who frequent or come across my blog, I hope you are having a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Last night, I had the joy and privilege of hearing Luke Everett share at South-Hills Community Church about the faith and strength of his mother and father in the midst of trial after trial that threatened his family’s ministry to deaf-mute children in Ensenada, Mexico. Almost 40 years ago, his mother and father converted an old school bus into a makeshift RV and moved their six children south of the border all the way from North Carolina. They arrived without “official training” and within two weeks there were 12 Mexican deaf-mute children living with their Gringo family. Despite financial setbacks, a house that burned down, and the tragic deaths of multiple family members, the ministry of his family still lives on at the Rancho Sordo Mudo school for the deaf-mute.
My quick summary doesn’t do this justice. The story is amazing and Luke’s talk can be found on the South-Hills website. Once you’ve listened to the story, check out the trailer for a new video documentary about it…
