Push through jungle. Climb up rocks. That is a hard hike. Most people in a wheelchair could never try it.
Mr. da Luz did. He went up a mountain. How? Kind friends helped him!
Pray: Thank God for people who help those with special needs.

Ezequiel da Luz cannot move his lower body. He went up one of Rio de Janiero’s hardest trails in December. Inclusion Collective is a group in Brazil. It helps people with special needs. Volunteers guided Mr. da Luz on his eight-hour climb. They used ropes to lift his chair up a mountain. Clouds cleared when he reached the top. He says God was generous. “Look there, what an incredible view,” he said.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord.” (Psalm 121:1-2)
