PraiseThis is a picture of our Kid’s Club in Frente Popular. There are about 70 kids that will show up at one time or another and the Club has been a big encouragement to us. Please pray for the kid’s and their families.
Please pray for a 14-year-old girl who has been in our youth group and attending church for several years. Dan has done a lot of hard, patient work over the last couple years with her dad but he hasn’t been walking with the Lord for a while now. A little over a month ago her dad was on drinking binge and she “escaped” from the house and moved in with a friend.
She came to let us know where she was and we invited her to stay with us until things cooled down at home. But she said she was fine and would come to church herself since she was only 4 blocks away and that she’d be at the youth group meeting as well. She didn’t show up. I went and found her and told her we’d plan on picking her up the next Sunday. She popped in late for our youth meeting on Saturday but wasn’t around on Sunday when we stopped by to take her to the worship service.
We went by again the next Sunday and called out for her. A friend came and told us she wasn’t there . . . she was now living with her husband. I said there must be some mistake because the girl I was talking about was only 14 and I had just seen her the week before and she wasn’t married then. “It’s the same girl” I was told.
Well, friends, I’ve felt like I got kicked in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of me because of that and a couple other things recently. So we’re appreciating your prayers for all of us down here these days.
Blessings in Christ,
Todd Schierkolk
