Nada's Testimony

Two Sundays ago, Nada Ghattas gave her testimony in Living Church, using her "lightwriter" to speak. Here is the text of that message.

My name is Nada Ghattas. I am deaf and also handicapped because I have cerebral palsy. I can't speak, but I use sign language. I also use my lightwriter becasuse my signing sometimes is difficult to understand. I am very happy this morning because I want to tell you that I love the Lord Jesus Christ very much; Jesus loves me and he saved me. He died on the cross to forgive my sins.

My life is difficult because I am handicapped, but I trust in the Lord every day. Jesus is my best friend. He promised his grace is enough for me. I am happy because Jesus lives in my heart. Jesus has a great plan for my life.

I love my friends at Tenth Church. I see the love of many of you as you smile and say hi to me. I thank my friends Jodi Clark and Maggie. I also thank Adriana and Maria. I like Dr. Ryken; I know he cares for me. I enjoy Sunday evening service because Roz interprets to me with sign language. I feel very happy and enjoy singing to the Lord with you.

I want to learn more about God and the Bible. I want to help people to know more about Jesus. I write Bible stories to help people know about Jesus. Please pray that the Lord would help me as I start a computer program to study the web design in the fall. Please pray that I may be able to serve the Lord. If any one of you has a difficult time, trust in the Lrod, pray to the Lord, and he will answer your prayer.

I know when I die I will be with Jesus. In the resurrection, Jesus will give me a new body. I will be no more handicapped. I will be able to speak and hear. I will be able to sing to the Lord using my voice. I think I will also sing to the Lord with sign language. Thank you for listening. The Lord bless you.
