"If you want that splendid power in prayer, you must remain in loving, living, lasting, conscious, practical, abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ." C. H. Spurgeon
Alfonso and I had an exiting time last Sunday as we made our rounds in Buenos Aires. He was especially filled with grace as he shared his testimony of the previous day. He was walking to the store when he became dizzy and passed out. Some guys helped him up, and through a series of events made it to the hospital. He waited for a long time to be seen, he said he spoke to five doctors who all said they were too busy to see him yet. So he finally put his head between his knees and prayed. "I asked God for forgiveness of my sins, thanked Him for His Son, and that if He wanted to take me now, I'm ready to go." He said he opened his eyes, felt his chest, he never felt better, and walked out praising the Lord. Pray for that heart and pace maker of his.
We went by Carina's house, she was making breakfast so we didn't spend much time, just encouraged her to bring her family. We were blessed when she and her family did come. She came foreword for prayer afterward.
We spoke with a mom by the name of Norma. As we were sharing, I noticed her husband over working on the car. I asked if she would call him over, for it would be more respectful to talk to the head of the house about these things. She reluctantly called him (I guess thinking he wouldn't want to talk "religion"), and he invited us in and we had a good talk with him. He genuinely seemed hungry for the things of Christ. Do pray for Fransisco and Norma and family.
I preach tomorrow at Buenos Aires for pastor Antonio. Thank you for praying for the service at the rescue mission on Thursday. It was almost a full house and seems to be growing.
Gracie and I will be flying to Minneapolis on Tuesday, then on to Hunky Dory on Wednesday. We'll be meeting some with our fellow workers to Mexico and some new folks that are preparing to come. We'll be there until Saturday.
Thank you all for praying in that "loving, living, lasting, conscious, practical, abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ."
Your fellow workers,
Darwin, Mary Ann and Gracie Jackson
