New Year, New Experiences

These past two weeks of the new year have started off with some amazing plans. But in the midst of it all, the Lord also presented us with a new experience. Our first funeral service took place last Tuesday. One of ladies that attends our Spanish service asked Geiner if he could perform the funeral for her nephew, and of course he obliged.

Baby Ian was stillborn, so needless to say it was an incredibly sad situation. Please keep Priscilla and her family in prayer…for the Lord’s peace and comfort to overwhelm her, as she deals with this terrible loss. And please also pray that in some way the Lord will use this to mend this family. During the service Geiner was able to present the gospel, and there are believing members of the family to come alongside Priscilla during this emotional time. Please pray that the gospel presentation fell on fertile soil, and that the Lord will be glorified in the midst of this tragedy.

"There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season.
There is a time to be born and a time to die.
There is a time to plant and a time to pull up plants.
There is a time to kill and a time to heal.
There is a time to destroy and a time to build."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 (NCV)
