More Prayer Requests

There are a couple people I would like you to pray specifically for:

Yesterday BABY LEYLA was taken into the hospital again and operated on for the second time in her short weeks of life… There was a complication in the connection to the colostomy bag… Although not life threatening, this has been disappointing and scary for Ana Karen… Please pray for them…

When someone puts their faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He paid the price for their ransom, they pass from darkness to light… from death to life… from lost to found… from Satan´s family to God´s family… from guilty to forgiven… Amazing…

Catch Up - Do You Remember?

Often I share bits and pieces of stories… verbal snapshots that hopefully you can close your eyes and picture… trusting that God touches your hearts to care… and pray…

Their stories continue…ups and downs… very little “ordinary”…

You probably imagine those people like the “snapshot” you saw…

Here are some updated “pictures”…

Do you remember ROSALY… and her four daughters? …struggling to finish their little house before the government project took it away? SO many people prayed, gave… came together to haul dirt, stones, bricks… dig holes, paint, encourage, put in the grass… and on and on… The house was completed… the government people who came to do the final check applauded her accomplishment, admiring the little extras…and seemed more interested in the “tree” of pictures on the wall than in anything else…

However, sometimes our focus can be so intent on the urgent that other needs get overlooked… festering and brewing… growing into urgent needs…

Catch Up - Part 1

In our Bible studies at El Jordán so far this year we have been looking at Old Testament stories… looking for Jesus´ name whispered in each one… Several weeks ago in our class, we were with the Israelites… being freed from their slavery in yet again… the manna, the fresh water… God´s protection and guidance. We started thinking about how many times we´re the same as the Israelites – so quickly forgetting what God has done… reverting to our wandering independence and complaints…

We now have a routine of sharing where we saw God´s Hand in our lives that week – a practice to help us NOT FORGET… The first week we did it, three of the girls could barely wait to share their God sightings…

Christmas on the Streets 2016

Though it’s been three months since “Christmas on the Streets” I still want to document it - yet another testimony of God´s faithfulness, a tribute to His hand and provision… Where would we be without Him?

December came… with the expectancy of finishing up our classes…programs… the year…. My feelings were mixed: looking forward to seeing how God provided… but at the same time a little worried about how and if our expenses would be covered… With all of our adjustments in “Christmas on the Streets” and moving towards “Friendship on the Streets” in July, would people still support our event in December? We drastically cut back our numbers… but it didn´t cut back proportionately on our expenses because we made certain improvements…
