More Doors Open!

Sean, Josef and I decided to go door to door to preach the Gospel in the slum village. Hey if Jehovah Witnesse's do it for a lie how much more should we do it for the truth! It was a blessing. The first and only house we went to opened their doors to us, and before we even told them what we where there for they invited us into their house. They were very friendly. We got to preach the Gospel to 4 of them, there are 13 people who live in this little house, I have attached pictures of them and their house. They were false converts, never experiencing the glorious new birth.
Please pray for them that they would be new creatures in Christ! We gave them Gospel of John's, for they only have one bible that they all share in the house. We encouraged them to read them and set up an appointment for us to return, they wanted us to come back to have bible studies with them. We came back Saturday as planned, and started teaching them through the book of John. We have set up a weekly bible study with them every Sunday. One of the young men that live there his name is Carlos confessed to us he has a problem with alcohol. He just recently got robbed and violently beaten his jaw was left hanging from his face. This neighborhood is so violent, it seems like everyone we know has something horrible happen to them. Carlos seems to be thinking about eternity right now. Please pray for his salvation, we offered to bring him to our house to spend more time with him alone, for he holds back having his mother and brother and sister there. He has quite happy and said he would like that. So Lord willing we will bring him over soon.

Also that Wednesday, we decided to walk up this hill to see what was there. It was the Lord's Sovereignty! We ran into this guy who was trying to go down this hill but couldn't in his car he got out of his car, and we went up to him. Long story short, his girlfriend of many years whom is the mother of his kids and lives with her, seems to be cheating on him. He was utterly heart broken, after being clean from alcohol for 9 years he fell again due to this. He also is doing drugs, and is suicidal. We got to listen to him as he told us his sorrows and we got to preach the Gospel to him. We prayed for him also and gave him a gospel of John. He knew the Lord sent us to him. Lord willing we will see him again, he said he will try to come on Wednesdays to the rehab to hear the word. Please pray that it would be so.

We went to the rehab center this Sunday again, it was a blessing. One of the guys we just met Aurelio is doing better. He has been a heroin addict for 21 years and has been clean for about 21 days. He's been at the rehab for about 2 weeks, and has been really impacted by the word. We have been visiting him for 2 weeks now, and there is such a change in him. He told us last week he's tired and wants to get right. We prayed for his deliverance from Heroin last week, he hadn't slept for like 15 days or so, because of the withdrawls. After praying for his deliverance he got really sleepy and went to bed. He knew it was the Lord, he's been sleeping ever since! He's been reading the word every night, and is learning so much, and it's helping him believe. Most of the men here don't want to make time for the Lord or His word, so it's such a blessing to see Aurelios hunger and desire to seek and know God. Please keep him in your prayers!

Lord bless you all!
