June Trip Update

Wow, I can't believe how fast the summer flew by! I have been meaning to give you guys an update on what has happened since the June trip.

Thank you so much for all your prayers. It has been neat to see the fruit still happening from that trip!

First remember this sweet couple.....Ivan and Gina.
They received a flier and attended church for the first time the Thursday when you were still here. Well ever since that day they have been attending church every time we have the doors open. They don't have much religious background but they are really searching.
* Praise the Lord they have both just started going through the 7 week salvation study. Please be lifting these two up and pray for the Lord to have victory in their lives
* Please pray for Ivan and Gina as they are both searching for jobs. They are going through lots of difficulties right now and they are trying to learn on trusting God through it all.
* Pray for salvation

Silvia

When we were able to pray over Silvia and Erica we were able to lift up their spirits and bless them so much. Silvia's brother Marti is actually doing better. Silvia's father went to a big city to talk with a psychologist about Marti. They suggested they put him in a mental hospital. But the family feels that is a little too strong. So the father has begun telling Marti he needs to go see a doctor and he needs to get help. Marti still does not want the help but since then he has started to leave the house and he is now talking more to his father.
Silvia also has another praise. Three weeks ago her mom called her and asked her to come have dinner with the family. She was surprised to find out the dinner was also with her dad!! She said this is the first time since her parents separated that they were all together. She said her dad was very happy to have the family together. Unfortunately Marti was the only person from their family not there.
* Please continue to pray for this family and for the health of Marti
* Praise we can see the hand of God beginning to heal this family
* Pray for Silvia as she is trying to share her faith with friends and co-workers

Erica

The Lord has really been working in the lives of Erica's family as well. Courtney was able to talk with Erica's sister Yuri about coming to study the Bible. For around 3 weeks now Yuri has been attending church! Also *praise Yuri has started the 7 week salvation study!!!

We were also able to meet Erica's parents the other day. She said they really liked meeting us and after they left our house their attitudes really changed and Erica's dad gave her a big hug for no reason. She told us she thinks they felt the presence of the Lord in our house and they can feel the difference it makes.
* Please keep praying for the family of Erica
* Praise for bringing her sister Yuri to the study
* Praise we really feel like the Lord is moving in her family
* Pray for Erica as she ministers and witnesses to her family

Sorry this was so long but I figured you guys would want to know all the cool stuff that has been going on! Again it is neat to see how the Lord has heard our prayers in June and we are starting to already see some of those being answered!! Thank you for praying for these people. I know they are grateful and so are Preston and I. We love you all.
