Evendays

V. and his wife came over the other evening. I met him about 4 years ago. He had been crying. haunted by things done in the past, wondering if God would forgive him. He started bringing his two children to church though he understands nothing but Spanish, being unable to pick up French because of learning disabilities. He reads most of the Spanish literature in the church library.

The police finally caught up with the two and told them to leave the country They are “illegals”. They have not saved up any money in Switzerland because their boy needs special education. They often work and are not paid, since employers know these workers won’t complain to authorities. Life in Quito does not promise them much if they return.

We will accompany them through this time, legally helping anyway we can. It’s not much. There are thousands in their situation…

Also, R. finally contacted me after several weeks of attending without communicating. He’s going through a difficult period and thinking of pulling away from the Body here so he can just be “anonymous” elsewhere. It breaks my heart.

So we keep on praying even more. Thanks for joining us in that.
