Bebe and Mariama Djata are a leadership couple from the Cacheu church in Guinea-Bissau that were sent to Brazil about 18 months ago so that he could take a course in theology and she could receive medical treatment. Both objectives are being achieved successfully. Bebe is in his last year of seminary (an honor student) and, as a result of medical treatment, Mariama gave birth to a baby boy on February 14. Luciano Djata came as a great joy for all of us who knew the difficulties they went through as a couple not having children in a culture where having a child is a sign of blessing and the absence of children signals a curse (according to the religion and customs of the country).
