"Prayer plumes the wings of God's young eaglets so that they may learn to mount above the clouds. Prayer brings inner strength to God's warriors and sends them forth to spiritual battle with their muscles firm and their armor in place." C. H. Spurgeon
Thanks for praying for Gracie and I as we flew to Wisconsin and back. She is a real "warrior." We borrowed car to get there from Minneapolis. But we got lost in Wisconsin somewhere in the county I's and H's. I was pretty frustrated when Gracie says, "Dad, why don't we pray?" So she led us and not five minutes later we were pulled over by a deputy sheriff, she walked up to us and asked, "are you guys lost?" and she led us all the way to Hunky Dory. (The picture is of Gracie playing baseball.)
We had a great time there, and are very encouraged by the Jacobson's and the Anderson's joining us in Mexico in August (although they'll be studying Spanish in Mazatlan).
Today in Buenos Aires we visited with a mom who invited us back to share with her son. He gets stitches out this we from being stabbed with a knife. She is really afraid for him. Pray for Catalina and her son that we may be able to lead them both to Christ. Also for Maria who is studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses. She has only been studying for four months, but several of her family have switched, including her uncle, who was a Catholic priest.
Pray also for Saul, a young man who comes to our congregation sometimes. I asked if he'd join us on our visits (this would be for his own conversion and preparation as well as to win others). He seemed to take me seriously.
Thank you all again for praying as we "mounted above the clouds," we definitely received inner strength for spiritual battle.
Your fellow workers,
Darwin, Mary Ann and Gracie Jackson
