Violence once again stikes our Family!
 
My Brother-in-law Michael was robbed thursday by bandits right outside a bank! They took him hostage for a while and then left him in the middle of the sugar cane fields far from the city. They took all his credit cards, money that he had just got out of the bank, and the Alvear´s Caravan. He is still a little sore from where they hit him in the arm and on his side. We are praying that the Lord keep His hand on us because in the van was bussiness cards from the church that have our address and a remote control to get into the gate. We desire very much so your prayers!

As I read more of the news and about things that are going on in our city there is more vehicles being robbed almost every day. I myself desire your special prayers for my car as I cannot afford insurance. I go into places where there is hungry souls waiting to hear the Word of the Lord but also into, as you could say, a beehive of drugs, alcohol, prostitution, and bandits. But what is one to do? I have to go into the darkness to bring forth light unto the darkness. Just the other day a man went into the market with his wife and when he came back out his car was gone! I always pray that the Lord would keep me and I know that He does but in this time I especially covet your prayers. May the Lord bless those who I know already lift us up in prayer and also those who will begin to pray.

While me and michael was in the police station I overheard an elder lady talking to the police. She said that someone had stolen her donkey! She had documents for it and everything. It was really the only thing of value that she owned. I thought, my Lord what is this world coming to where even your donkey isn´t safe from the neighbor down the road. God be with us all!
