Mozambique. - to Be disabled brings with it many challenges anywhere through that one lives. In the rural Mozambique, nevertheless, the effort to cross swamps and sandy ways would serve so that a disabled person was remaining at home. Nevertheless, this is not the case of the shepherd Rafael Coman Sarmento.

The shepherd fifty-year-old Sarmento four years, lost the legs in a mining accident in 1998. Today it directs a gathering in the people of Inhapel, where ten Speaking Bible was distributed in 2006. It is sure of that by means of the Writing in audio, God has transformed his own life and that of his church.

«Everything changed since the Speaking Bible came to Inhapel», he affirms. He calculates that there is no any more than six Bible printed on the people, and does not remember to have seen any of three hundred fifty inhabitants reading one of them. The situation is very different for the Speaking Bible.

Since they came to the people several groups of listeners formed, and almost half of the settlers now is present at the church. The only thing for that the shepherd Sarmento asks when it delivers a Speaking Bible to a person, is that it promises to him to touch it regularly and stops that others go so far as to listen to it.

Some of them touch the Writing once a week in his houses, while others simply touch them outdoors where those who happen can listen to them.

«The people like to hear the God's Word!», he says. «So soon he begins dreaming a Speaking Bible, the people meet. The fact that he speaks xitshwa it does that they come running».

As well as it uses the Speaking Bible for ministrar in his people, the shepherd Sarmento has noticed that it allows him to discover for itself the wealths of the God's Word.

Since he already listened to the whole New Testament, he feels that it has a better comprehension of the Writing, and can transmit it to the members of his gathering. Before the Speaking Bible was coming, he usually read only short Biblical passages, and it was difficult to understand the Bible like everything to him.

It uses his strong trunk to be impelled by a sandy way from his house up to the church, and takes his Speaking Bible in the shirt. When the settlers see it going to the church they begin to meet, with the expectation of listening to the God's Word. «I thank God for having lost my legs, because the people listen to the message that I bring to them», he says.
