South America - Tolosa update
Since our last prayer/newsletter, we made a
trip back to the states after Charles’ sister in-
formed us that Charles’ 85 year old mother was
not doing well in a hospital in the Grand Rapids,
Michigan area. Charles’ father requested that
we return because of fears that Mom was pos-
sibly on her deathbed. We made quick arrange-
ments with our Deaf national church leaders to
continue the various ministries in our absences,
purchased round trip plane tickets on our zero
balanced MasterCard, packed our needed be-
longings, and departed South America for Mi-
ami on August 9th.
We thought that we would miss all our con- necting flights to Michigan because of a 2 hour mechanical repair delay at our South American airport. Once we arrived in Miami, we thought for sure we missed our flight to Atlanta. How- ever, that flight was also delayed 2 hours and 35 minutes because of severe thunderstorms in the Atlanta area. Then we thought for sure we’d miss our connection in Atlanta to Grand Rapids, but were surprised to find out that that flight was also delayed due to all the previous flight delays. So, we finally arrived 2 hours late at 12:40 a.m. the next day (August 10th) instead of 10:40 p.m. as originally scheduled.
After getting some much needed rest, we went to the hospital about 10 a.m. to see Charles’ mom. She was sitting in a chair next to the bed looking very weak and lethargic. When she looked at us, she didn’t seem to recognize who we were. Charles’ sister asked the doctor why mom did not recognize Charles and Betty. The doctor reluctantly admitted that the medication Charles’ mom was receiving was affecting her mind and that they had made a mistake in admin- istering the WRONG medication from a list Charles' sister had given the hospital staff of what Charles’ mom could take and what she could not take. Once they got the medicines corrected, Charles’ mom “came out of it” and was back to her normal self again. Charles’ mom had been in one other hospital for pneumonia, came home for one day, and then back into a different hospital where Charles’ sister found out that both hospitals had made the same mistake in administering the wrong medicines to Charles’ mom. However, we praise the Lord that she is now home and seems to be on the mend.
When we arrived back to our assignment in South America, on August 21st, we had plenty of things to do in order to “catch up”. Thanks for all of your prayers and email notes of encouragement during those uncertain days. Charles did catch a bad cold while in Michigan, but is better now.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
1. Please pray for us as we travel to Mexico City next week (September 2-8) to do some minis- try work with some fellow missionaries to the Deaf who serve with our organization.
2. Please pray for Betty and two hearing national believers presenting the work among the DEAF at a missions conference in “C” on August 31st.
3. Pray for us as we travel back to North Carolina for a week of meetings with our Deaf leader- ship team on October 1-6.

South America - Tolosa update December 2012
This year has gone so fast that we wonder “where has the time gone”? As we consider what God has done this year, we are so grateful that He has shown Himself time and time again to be faithful and true. As we end 2012 we wanted you to “look back” with us as we give praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

From our hearts to your heart we want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and
blessed New Year in 2013. We have been very busy over this past month traveling to a different country and a distant city in Colombia. We have been viewing and reviewing one of our missionary families — their ministry in another South American country. We have studied, prepared, and taught some new Deaf believers the StoryOne process in Medellin just last week. We will be traveling to another distant city,
Cali, on November 30th to lead another StoryOne training/ workshop and then on to Bogotá on December 4th to teach the Deaf /Wycliffe “Jesus Project Team” about the StoryOne process with hopes of producing these stories into video for distribution throughout Colombia in the months ahead. Guillermo will be joining us in Bogotá to assist in the training with the Jesus Project Team.
Please pray for us as we continue to serve and minister to the spiritual needs of the many thousands of Deaf un- reached and unengaged in this country as well as to the spiritual growth of the new Deaf believers. Pray that the Holy Spirit will create a flame of urgency and revival in the hearts of the Deaf believers to see, accept, and obey their responsibility to GO and “make disciples” among their own people group. Thank you for all your love, prayers and support. Please continue to remember to lift us up in prayer as we plan and prepare for the quickly approaching Deaf Camp 2013 in January. We count it an honor and joy to be
your missionary among the Deaf in South America.

Tolosa Update November 2012
God Continues to Work in Many Lives
This past weekend, October 27th and 28th, we met in a hotel for two long days — from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They invited a Deaf national lady na- tional who presently lives in the United States, to come and help “co- teach” the truths of God’s Word. There were 27 Deaf women who at- tended either Saturday or Sunday. The topics ranged from dating to mar- riage, purity to those who had made bad choices as young women, wit- nessing, holiness, discipling children to discipline in their own lives, and many emotional issues that women face.
At the beginning a Bible story was told in drama form then the discus- sion began… (1) how God was inter- twined in this person’s life (2) their feelings about the story and (3) how to apply the story so there would be a change in their lives.
Ladies came forward one by one to talk about issues they faced—abuse, rejection, loneliness, fear, anger and guilt. Two Christian women (“enemies” with each other for years) confessed their sin and made right. Another lady struggling with her self image realized that in Christ she is beautiful.
On Sunday morning we met to- gether and you could sense the Holy Spirit was working. About 10 o’clock the electricity went out and this hap- pened 4 times. Imagine you are Deaf and in a room of total darkness? There were no windows… so, we opened the door to the hall and be- gan singing. Each time the lights went out we sang and praised God. This weekend made a spiritual differ- ence in the hearts of many Deaf women.
Singing to the Lord!
While we were meeting together, the “mother church” in Murillo was meeting for its regular weekly ser- vice. Guillermo taught from Ephe- sians 6 — “The Armor of God”. Dur- ing the invitation three men came forward for salvation (Kevin, Juan and Alberto) and five others for re- dedication. This weekend was truly one where we saw God changing and transforming many lives. Pray for these Deaf men and women to stand strong for the Lord daily.

Deaf Harvest Update - July 2011
Hi Deaf Harvest Friends,
This year has been a year of restructuring, as we determined in 2010 that God wants to do far more with this ministry than can be accomplished through one person.
Therefore, in February, we re-defined the roles of each member of our board and added two more official board members.
Our corporation was renewed with the Secretary of State as an incorporation and charitable organization 501c3, which allows gifts to be contributed to our ministry, and donors to count it on their income taxes as a charitable donation.
Since we wanted to move our focus to the international ministry, we chose not to display materials at conferences this year. Rather, funds have been spent on Deaf Teen Ministry and International Missions. Donations have allowed us to support two Deaf orphanages in Africa, purchase 12 hearing aids for a Deaf outreach in India, as well as organize a more direct outreach to Deaf teens in the Atlanta area.
Our website continues to be active at www.deafharvest.org and has been updated with a more user friendly format.
We gave Bibles to several Deaf individuals in 2010 as they were in need of a Bible. The two Bibles we recommend for the Deaf are the FCA Game Plan Bible and the International Children’s Illustrated Bible as these Bibles are written primarily
in active voice which is an easy-to-read version. In addition, we recommend the new ASLV (American Sign Language Version) of the Bible which can be viewed and purchased at www.deafmissions.org .
As you can see God continues to do amazing things through this ministry. There are untold stories of how God has multiplied our efforts in ways that we may never hear about on this side of heaven, and yet those events are storing up
treasures in heavenly places. There are Deaf people in countries all over the world that have been reached this year with the gospel message of Jesus Christ through our direct and indirect ministry. None of this would be possible without
the constant prayer and financial support we receive on a monthly basis. To you, we give our most sincere thanks, and know that God will not forget your sacrifices for Him. We want to encourage you to come back often, especially to the
missionary pages, and pray for Deaf work world-wide. There is much work to be done in God’s Harvest of Deaf souls.
May God bless you for your obedience, and at the same time burden you with the reality that so many Deaf around the world have yet to hear about Jesus for the very first time. Thank you for your prayers this past year. Please, keep on praying, that we will have His wisdom in how to proceed in the future, and that He would receive the glory and honor for whatever is accomplished in His name.
We give God all the glory for allowing us to have the honor of working in His harvest again this year. We saw God do some mighty and wonderful things. We are expecting more things this year and I am....
Honored to be a worker in His Harvest,
Mrs. DeeAnn Harmon

TOLOSA July 2011 news and information
Dear Prayer Warriors,
WHEW!!!!! Today is Thursday June 30th. In less than 48 hours, we will be returning to our South America assignment with IMB as your missionary representatives to the Deaf. Our 10 weeks of service and ministry at the International Learning Center in Virginia is coming to an end. We look forward with GREAT anticipation and love to see those we left behind when we came to the states on April 23rd. You will not be receiving a regular news/prayer letter in July like you have in the past because of time constraints and other work related issues. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Since coming to Virginia, we (specifically Betty) has accepted a new role for our Deaf Affinity Group (DAG). She is now the new Affinity Group Prayer Strategist (AGPS) for ALL of the DAG world wide. This simply means that she will be responsible to mobilize, receive, arrange, and send out all prayer request and prayer related information from all the DAG missionaries. This is a big responsibility that Charles will be assisting her with and one that we ask you for which to regularly pray. Those of you whom have faithfully been praying for us over the last few years KNOW how vital prayer is on our behalf and you've seen the answers as you've read our newsletters and our updated ministry postings.
Please remember the following items in prayer:
~ Pray for our safe return to South America on Saturday morning July 2nd. We're scheduled to arrive there by 4:45 p.m. that same day. Pray that all our luggage arrives safely with us.
~ Pray for the 6 new DAG appointees who have just completed an intensive 10 week orientation program. They will be attending the Southern Baptist Conference of the Deaf (SBCD) in mid July after which they will then depart for their assigned mission fields on the other side of the world.
~ Pray for the pastor of our home/sending church in North Carolina, Pastor Ruffin Snow. He has some health issues that he has been dealing with recently and he/we would appreciate your prayers on his behalf.
~ Finally, please pray for the Lord to touch the heart of NURSE in the states to be willing to volunteer and come here for our February 2012 Baptist Deaf Camp. We plan to have between 75 and 100 Deaf campers, between the ages of 15 and 99, attend. There is no law that requires us to have a NURSE, but we believe it would be wise to at least pray that the Lord would make this need/want a reality for common sense reasons.
...and speaking about the Deaf Camp in February 2012, two-thirds of the needed money to help bring and pay for the Deaf to come to camp has already been provided. ONLY one-third is left to go. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!! Keep praying for this need, too.
We Love you ALL and thank you again for lifting us, our needs, and the Deaf of South America up to our Father in Heaven!
Please drop us an email note to let us know that you are "kneeling" and standing with us as your IMB missionaries to the DEAF. We pray for YOU, too!
"Sign"cerely yours for DEAF Souls,
Charles and Betty

Deaf Camp February 2012 Update!
We wanted to give you, our Faithful Prayer Warriors, a quick update concerning how the Lord is answering your prayers about supplying the needed funds for the Baptist Deaf Camp next year.
First of all, when we shared the need 2 months ago with our partnering churches, one Deaf Mission Church pastor in North Carolina immediatly responded by saying that his church was sending $500.00 for this project.
Then secondly, a Deaf Ladies WMU group held a retreat at Ridgecrest, North Carolina and sent $70.00 to sponsor one of our Deaf individuals for camp.
Thirdly, another Deaf Ministry led group in another North Carolina church recently conducted a Saturday car wash/bake sale (plus some donations, too) and raised $834.00 to add to our Baptist Deaf Camp fund.
Needless to say, our hearts are overjoyed with gratefulness, thanksgiving and love to our Lord and His people who have already answered the call for this important outreach ministry project.
We've also heard from some pastors who said that they definately want to help us with our Deaf Camp next year and will be getting back with us shortly to let us know what they and their churches will be able to contribute. Some have said that they will use this year's VBS offering as their contribution to the Deaf Camp. WOW!!!!!!
Thank you so much for praying and PLEASE continue to pray that every need will be met, that our Lord will be glorified, and that the hearts Deaf souls will be made fertile to receive His Words and be saved.

South America - Charles and Betty Thomas
Dear Prayer Supporters and Friends,
We are so blessed to be back in country and serving our Lord. We have seen 8 accepted Christ as Savior since our return and on March 13th we are having a special baptismal service. We ask that you play for the 10 candidates (as of this writing) who are excited to follow the Lord in obedience. During the next 2 months, we will be conducting in-depth Bible study with some of our leaders on a "one on one" basis along with a bi-monthly meeting with them.
Thank you again for your prayers for us. God is working and souls are being saved!
"Signcerely,"
Charles and Betty
