Dear Praying Friends,
We are asking you to pray for the young couple from Peru (Jorge and Cecilia) that lost the two babies. This time last week, Cecilia's body was not responding to any of the antibiotics. She was literally at the point of having the infection throughout her whole body. Our church pleaded with the Lord for her on Wednesday night that He would be glorified in her, and we asked specifically for Him to heal her. The Lord healed her. Today in church Jorge gave an excellent testimony of what they have been through and how surprised the doctors were at Cecilia's clean bill of health. They were totally praising the Lord.
Right after church, someone had an appointment at their home to buy a car that they had recently bought over the internet here in Mexico City. They had bought a minivan recently when Ceci's family came to visit and wanted to trade that for a smaller car, which they did about a month ago. They had had a lot of problems with their newer car and finally seemed to have gotten them fixed. So they decided to sell it. What they did not know was that the car was stolen and sold to them. The original owner saw it announced over the internet and came to test it today at Jorge's house. It was a sting operation and they were both taken to jail this evening. It's a long story but the end result is that the authorities said that all could be done with if Ceci would just make up a bill of sale that they were lacking and sign it. Ceci said that she would not lie--therefore it appears that her husband may face some substantial jail time, unless our Lord intervenes dramatically. They have done nothing wrong, except for mistakenly not getting a bill of sale. Even the owner who organized the sting today recognizes that they are not the ones who stole the car from him. But here, you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. This couple has really been through the wringer the last few months. Please pray that the Lord would honor Jorge and Cecilia as they have sought to honor Him. The God who rescued Shadrac, Meshac and Abednego from the law of King Nebuchadnezzar is the same God of Jorge and Cecilia. Please pray that the Lord would honor and exalt His name in this. Please pray for the Lord's protection of Jorge in jail. Please pray that the Lord would intervene and allow Jorge to get out tomorrow. We covet and need your prayers desperately,
In Christ,
mike for all the goldfii
