A Way Beyond Death: a Brazilian Couple's Fight Against Fear, Suffering, and Infanticide (International Adventures) International Adventure Jemimah Wright

The chief had ordered that I stay in the hut where they bury rejected children alive, those with any kind of disability. The tribe believed the hut was full of evil spirits that would kill me.

When Marcia dos Santos came to faith as a young girl, she heard a clear life call to serve indigenous peoples. The call also came to Márcia's future husband, Edson Suzuki. Together the couple recognized the importance of helping Indians with health care in order to combat the Amazonian tribal practices of infanticide and suicide.

What began as a simple walk of obedience has led to the creation of new laws protecting at-risk indigenous children, including the Suzukis' adopted daughter, Hakani. Their powerful story, as told to Jemimah Wright, is a picture of God's redemptive heart of compassion for the outcast and rejected.
