Doug and Rene' Brecto - Choosing to Exhibit the Fruit of the Holy Spirit as Rene' Endures Multiple Sclerosis (God's Definition of Love and His Intention for Marriage) (DVD)

Recorded in the Brecto's Post Falls, Idaho home.  The Brectos were preparing to minister with a focus on marriage prior to Rene's illness.  What is love, marriage and covenant all about?  Doug gives brief explanation of MS (Multiple Sclerosis).  Doctors told Rene' not to worry about her early symptoms until they become life changing.  The disease had a rapid progression after diagnosis; loss of strength and balance, then quickly went from a three-wheeled electric scooter to a power wheelchair.  Home bound for 3 1/2 years except for annual doctor visit.  Rene's humor under duress; fruit of the Spirit.  Half an hour for Doug to get Rene' into bed.  The Blessed Hope.  Doug feels honored by God to care for Renee.  The Brectos have made the choice not to be bitter or angry over this disease.  Seventy-five percent of married couples affected by MS divorce.  Covenant marriage gave Doug the opportunity to be a servant to Rene'.  Not giving up with the hope for healing.  Rene' received a word from the Holy Spirit while reading her Bible, "The people you live among will see how awesome the work is that I, the Lord, will do for you.".  Great faith in action; trusting in God for Rene's healing.  Video of a Hoyer lift used to move a patient from a wheelchair to a bed.  Photos of: The Brectos prior to marriage through present; Doug Brecto in Kenya with Dr. Hansen.
