I was just starting to write you an update. I wanted to thank you for your prayer and encouragement. It is such a huge help to us. It’s actually a thrill to think of so many praying and our hearts are thankful and full, just thinking of you.
My brother, Paul, texted me and asked how things were, and I told him things have been calmer, and we are planning, Lord willing, to be on the streets this week, with food and the Word. I sent the text and my cellphone rang.
Anderson, from Igapó was calling, collect, to say there were three more killings. One was in Igapó, another in the favela Beira-Rio; both are places we visit regularly. I’m not sure where the third was.
I heard Anderson’s voice. He’s calling because we are his connection to a God that loves and he is scared. He wants the comfort of prayer and God’s Word. I’m scared for these kids. They are lost and they are helpless to save themselves. As we go, please pray for God to go before us and prepare their hearts. One soul is worth everything.
But you will not go out in haste, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard. (Isaiah 52:12 NASB)
