Let's start with the exciting news. It goes hand in hand with my last entry.
The pastor who showed up at our door with the youth leader from the larger Church "impacto de vida", came again today to introduce us to his wife.
Well, turns out Phil and Karen knew them from years ago, when they served in the same ministry. It was so refreshing to see God's hand again.
This pastor started a smaller Church less then a year ago, walking distance from our home here in Matamoros. It's called Cristo: La Esperanza. They put a lot of energy into discipleship.
Tomorrow morning we are going with him to a prayer meeting attended by some 40 pastors from the city.
A few hours after their visit, the coordinators from the Mustard seed program arrived for their meeting. Since Hector,the man in charge of teaching the parents of the children in the program, was not yet there, they decided to call his daughter to find out if he was on his way. On the phone, they found out that he was being held hostage at that very moment by the mafia. They were after anything he owns.
We gathered in prayer and made several phone calls. The latest I've heard is that a pastor known to the group gathered has a brother in law in the mob who had agreed to go there to negotiate with the perpetrators.
Some of you have been asked to pray for this already. Thank you! We will keep you posted as soon as we receive more news.
Please pray for a chance to win these men to God.
