Fabiana

Fabiana is the young girl who snuck out of her parents home and climbed this cajá tree by our front gate. When Annika got there Fabiana was lying on the ground like she was dead. With the corner of her shirt Anni wiped the blood that had trickled from her mouth. Then she came to get Deanna. Others ran to get Fabiana’s parents. Deanna drove them all to the hospital. Fabiana’s dad prefers to be called by his nickname “Onça Preta”. It translates to “Black Panther.” 
If you look close you can see this tree is loaded with small orange fruit, about the size of big cherries. Each one has as much flavour as a package of tang juice crystals. We have several of these trees on the church property, but no one is allowed to climb them. We enjoy the fruit after it falls to the ground.
The parents and Fabiana came to church Sunday night. Fabiana has no internal injuries, which seems miraculous to me. We think the branch is 7 or 8 meters high (20-25 feet).  Thank you to anyone who has ever prayed for God’s blessing and protection for us and the people who come here.
