February Prayer Letter - Dan Giles Jr.

Danny Giles

Greetings to all,

We hope that you all are doing great.  We are having lots of fun watching our two daughters grow, and the youth group growing spiritually and emotionally.

Last Saturday we took the youth group to the city park in Aguascalientes, and they all loved it.  The had time to get to know each other better, it was a great experience for them and us as well. 

Please pray for the youth group.  Jerez is full of drugs, and explicit underground.  It is very hard for them to follow Christ with so many bad influences.  Danny is providing a fun alternative to the boys, they come to play video games and hang out with Danny.   Danny is also helping  Guillermo(Memo) Perez to learn english because he is excited to go the Bible School in Minneapolis in two years.

We had a great opportunity to share the gospel in a very interesting setting here in Jerez.  It happened January 16th.   We went to a coffee house and had a chance to talk about Jesus.  We basically told the people there that without Jesus they were lost.  It is quite a long story, but if you want to know the whole story you can check it in our family blog.

We are still looking for a house in which to live, we really would like to live in a house that is across from Dan and Debbie's.  The owner came to us and showed us the house.  Unfortunately, the house is not empty. There is a man who rents the house, but he really doesn't really live there.  His lease ran out last December so the owner really want us to move in there, and we think it is absolutely perfect for us.  Please pray that either he will find a new  place to live or that we can find another place of our own.

Pray for the safety of our family.  Jerez has become one of the head quarters of one the  biggest drug cartels in Mexico.  A month ago there was a shooting that resulted in seven local and federal police man dead, and nobody knows how many more.   We know that God is more powerful than any power in this world and that nothing will happen to us if He doesn't allow it.
