#10 Prayer Requests & News! March 24, 2015 provided by Dorothy 

Many of you send greetings of happy birthday to Tony. I showed him my laptop to his chair and he was really impressed!! Tony appreciate hearing that from you. There were 32 or more. (I am sure more is coming during the week.) Awesome!

Our trip to Carol Stream to Red Apple Restaurant, Tony really enjoyed his birthday breakfast. If I order 2 eggs, it always comes with four “small” eggs, huge hash potatoes, and etc. I shared it with Tony while he waits for 30 minutes baked apple pancake “pie”. Then we shared but it was too much and we brought it home to finish it. Then we get to meet David Stecca and Allen.

It was a beautiful day after we left 12:30 pm to avoid any rush hour which falls at 3 pm. (We had lived at DVC for four years and Red Apple Restaurant had been our favorite morning breakfast of many kinds of choice even to oatmeal, or simple things. It was our morning time together to chat, to do business, or ideas or anything.) We now go to Dunkin Donut for coffee since we moved here 2007. Thank you for prayers. We got home safety. Whew!!!

Vallejo Deaf Church of California send this picture and
information which I appreciate very much. Dorothy Callies

Rev Eduardo Poleo Perdomo

January 8, 1943–March 14, 2015

We are sure many of you has remembered Bro Ed, a Missionary for Venezuela including his wife, Gladys. The duo has created a dynamic ministry that has reached beyond their thoughts. Because of their intensive work and untiring work the ministry has grown with many deaf churches established and many Deaf Pastors were called. This then led eventually to the formation of the Assembly of God district for the Deaf in Venezuela. Their unique work has created a great legacy in the hearts of men and women around Venezuela and as well as abroad. He is surely remembered in this great ministry work of nearly 30 years. He is survived by his wife, Gladys, and two daughters, Danita and Marlena, including their respective husbands and grandchildren. Please keep them in your prayers. 

MY TESTIMONY ABOUT ED PERDOMO FROM DOROTHY:
Ed Perdomo, native and a missionary of Venezuela of South America passed away the other day. I wanted to say that when I first met him and his mother in 1956 at California School for the Deaf Riverside,  I was their guide on the Parents Day showing them around. The mother decided to send Ed to a Deaf School in Riverside, CA. Ed Perdomo was a native of Venezuela and came to America. 

I had seen this shy teenager, Ed kept to himself in a classroom during the recess time and I encouraged him to come out and meet with others. He struggled to fit in. I remember praying for him and witnessing to him about Jesus. Few years later, he told me that a friend helped him with salvation plan. The vision of his face often appear during my prayer time and I would pray for him a lot.

Then time after time we would meet at different events and he said this to me, "I know you have been praying for me because I felt your prayers very strongly." I was impressed. Soon after, I learned of his great missionary work at Venezuela and I realized what God had done through him. 

It was just awesome for me to realize that you never know who you meet, witnessing them to Christ, pray for them and then one day, they do great work for God.
