Samuel

Just a quick update on Samuel. After several days, he showed up at his aunt's house, who lives in Tampico, about six hours away. Apparently he hitch-hiked all the way there. We thank the Lord that Samuel is fine and that we now know where he is. Samuel's mom, Irma, will be going to Tampico to pick him up and bring him back home. Samuel seems to be content to return home.

Throughout this situation, God has revealed some significant needs in the heart of Samuel, who has always been faithful go activities at the mission and at church, but has never shown real spiritual desire or interest. Please pray that we will be able to reach his heart and help him resolve the issues and focus his life on God.

Thank you for your prayers. Please don't stop now.

While you are at it, please pray for Jorge and Gloria, a couple who was saved through the activities a the mission. They have been attending church for several years (on an on-again-off-again basis). They are currently going through some very difficult marital struggles due to their sinful past. Please pray that they will be willing to work through their issues together. Their is a lot of hurt and bitterness. I am thankful that at least they were willing to broach the subject and open their hearts. Pray that I will have the wisdom and grace to help them resolve their issues by refocusing their hearts on God and obeying His Word.
