Lives Transformed on Two Continents
Isabel Pantoja is from the community of Maranhão. She spent most of her life resistant to the Gospel because of village tradition and fear of persecution. Isabel shared with us that her family taught her that anyone who did not believe like them was considered an outcast and a “savage”.
Last year, at 93, she trusted Jesus as her Savior. Isabel’s faith in Jesus has transformed her from hostile to the Gospel to a prayer warrior. During our 2024 visit, she asked us to pray individually with several of her family members. At our departure, Isabel wanted us to know that “her Christian brethren were welcome on her porch anytime.”
