Goldfuss update

Dear Praying Partners,

Thank you for your ministry in prayer. Here are some of the answers!

Praises:
  • Blanca's medication by injections seems to be really helping her with her rheumatoid arthritis. The swelling is dramatically reduced in her hand.
  • Mario and Noemi thank the Lord that the judge miraculously gave her papers to be free from jail!!! Thank you for praying. When Noemi went before the judge, the judge said, "Why are you not in prision now?" An acquaintance of Noemi's who works with the judge spoke on her behalf and the judge gave the needed papers to be free. The neighbors, who beat up Noemi and her 11 year old son to frighten them so that they would leave their little piece of land and home, are now facing some jail time. Noemi was able to testify before the judge. When the judge asked if she wanted to be paid for damages, Noemi replied,"No, all we want is to live in peace. The Lord says in His Word that vengence is His. I will leave this to Him."
  • Erasmo--was in church both on Wednesday and on Sunday. He is praising the Lord that he is still alive after falling 3 stories off of his roof while he was trying to fix his roof from leaking.
  • Esther (from years ago) returned today with her two little girls Hadassa and Hania. The people warmly greeted her. Pray for them to return and for her and David to be reunited as they are separated.
Prayer Requests:
  • SeƱoras Maria and Gloria (the elderly ladies) are again very ill.
  • Silvia's son Luis (a 31 year old man who fell off the top of a truck last year and landed on his head) seems to be declining. Pray for his salvation and strength for Silvia as she takes care of him.
  • Ruben and Heidi--as they are in Arizona seeking the Lord's direction for ministry.
  • Faith---Some of you wrote and asked how she is doing. Well, to be honest, it has taken a long time for her to build up her strength since her serious infection after the baby was born. She seems to be weakened and has had an ear infections and other illnesses. Praise the Lord that she is doing much better now. One disappointment was that we thought that the sciatic nerve problem, which caused back and leg pain, would go away once the baby was born. At times she can walk perfectly with no problem at all, and then there are times that she is unable to walk due to the pain. It seems to depend on how she turns and moves. This brings us to a praise: We have a very special blessing. Faith's wonderful brother and sister in law, Ron and Bridgette Markell, heard about our setbacks with Faith's recovery. They decided to send their daughter back to help us . Amara Markell (Faith's 18 year old neice) returned to Mexico this week! She already has been such a blessing in so many ways. She will be here for six weeks helping with homeschooling and wherever needed.
We will now leave you with this thought: Morgan preached on Wednesday night and he said,"God not only gives us the gift of heaven to look forward to. The true gift that He gives is Himself for us to enjoy for all eternity."

Thank you again for your prayers.

In Christ,
Mike, Faith, Mikey, Cristiana, Carissa, Matthew, Cherith, and Caralyn Goldfuss
