Stepping Out in Faith

This is the amazing story of Rancho Sordo Mudo a free home and school for deaf children in Mexico. Founded in 1969 by Ed and Margaret Everett the Ranch has challenged and changed thousands of lives--including the Everetts! Through fire and restoration triumph and devastation the family has never lost faith in Gods divine plan. As a result their unwavering persistence and devotion transformed 500 acres of unoccupied land into a blessed ministry that has provided hope and a future for deaf children (and people of all ages--hopefully even you!) for nearly forty years. Now to Lukes many qualities must be added one more: hes also a gifted writer! . . . [R]eaders . . . come to know about the ministry of Rancho Sordo Mudo and its impact on thousands of hearing-impaired Mexican children who without the love and encouragement of the people who make up this ministry would have been . . . forever condemned to endure the silence of their own thoughts. God has used the Everett family and the staff of Rancho Sordo Mudo in amazing ways and we pray that He will continue to do so! --Cyril J. Barber author of The Faithfulness of God: Devotional Studies in I Chronicles (2002) Down through the ages God has called certain men and women to unique tasks for His kingdom.
