Healing Hearts

As you may recall from earlier blog posts, two people were murdered down at the river while we were in Peñitas.  It was a tragedy that stunned all of us, but most especially the families of the victims.  They left behind many grieving family members.

Pastor Chuc began visiting the family on a daily basis if I have translated his emails correctly.  He conducted the funeral services and even began Bible studies with interested family members.  It is no easy task to visit people in Pastor Chuc's area.  Much of the time it involves at a minimum a long drive on winding, unmaintained country roads.  And for many people, it involves a boat ride, horseback, or even wading through the river.

Here is a picture Pastor Chuc recently sent us. The people in the boat are church members visiting with the family members of the deceased.

Please keep the people of Peñitas lifted up in prayer.  And Pastor Chuc and his wife, Ibeth, as well.

Lamentations 3:31-33  "For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.  Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.  For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men."

2 Corinthians 4:16  "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

Jeremiah 29:13 "And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart."

God bless,
