Businesswoman Eleni de Souza Santos, 36, a resident of Guarulhos, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, already knew Jesus, but she could not leave her cigarette aside. During the six years she attended the World Church, she lost count of how often she promised her son and husband to quit, but then she would come back. "He suffered greatly from the symptoms of withdrawal. My hands trembled, I felt so anxious and nervous that I gave in. " Her family pressed her. "They said, 'You're not going to church? Why are you still smoking? It made me feel ashamed. I made a point with God that the money that he spent with cigarettes every day would offer in the House of the Lord (about R $ 240,00 per month). " Eleni insisted on the quest for liberation. Every morning he accompanied the prayer made with the Bishops of the IMPD, consecrated the water and continued to participate in the services. Six months ago the businesswoman did not smoke. Thirty-six years were attached to smoking.

"I have stopped other times, but this time God did in a way that it was as if I had been born again."

Example comes from home It was in the city of Amargosa, in the state of Bahia, when he was 15 years old that the will to smoke was awakened in the heart of Eleni. Her father discarded the rope smoke, she sought the leftovers and reused them. Had Eleni started smoking so early if she did not live close to a smoker? The Word of God speaks clearly about the influence that parents exert on their children. From small, they should be by example. "Teach the child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it," Proverbs 22: 6. May you be light in your home!
