Goldfuss update (2/11/2013)

Dear Prayer Partners,
Again, we are so thankful that you take the time to remember us in prayer!
Prayer requests:
1. Unsaved people who are coming: Francisco, Maricela, Sophia, Pedro, Sergio, Erica, Carmelita, Carlos, Eusebio, and 6 relatives that Bris brought.
2. Our people are facing serious trials just this week.
A.) Luis and Claudia are a faithful older couple: his father, 97, passed away. He had a profession of faith.
B.) A young boy in our church, 10, fell and had to have surgery to put 2 pins in his arm.
C.) We have a young brother and sister, Eduardo and Norma, who are studying here from Oaxaca. Their older brother, 25 years old, was coming to visit them by bus and the bus was in a terrible accident. The brother died—and poor Eduardo, 19, had to go identify the body. Please pray for the whole family. They said that he was a believer.
D.) Ceci and Jorge (the young couple from Peru who are studying here), Ceci had surgery on Friday. Mike was able to be with them at the hospital.
E.) Sergio's wife Erica is still in the psychiatric hospital.
May the Lord be glorified in all of these difficult situations. The spirit has been down. Faithful ones are burdened with the heavy needs of their own families. Pray that all of us will look to Christ for the needed strength and comfort and that we will also look to help each other. We need the more mature believers to step up and help. Pray for the men to be leaders. Please pray for us to have the wisdom to help them become those leaders. Pray that we would have understanding where needed and be able to pinpoint sinful excuses when necessary.
If any church might have an extra or old communion tray with little cups, it would be very helpful here. Please let us know.
Thank you so much for praying for our family and our church family! We depend on those prayers!
In Christ,
Mike, Faith, Mikey, Cristi, Carissa, Matthew, Cheri, and Cara Goldfuss
