Pray for These People

We would like to ask special prayer for the salvation of four people and one new convert. They have all heard the gospel and three are very interested in obtaining eternal life and a right relationship with God.

Sulay is the niece of Ramón Alemán, who attends our church.

Left to right: Sulay, Saskia (Ramón's daughter), Ramón, and his granddaughter, Raquel.

Sulay began attending the Bible studies we have in Ramón's house. She has a lot of questions, is searching and wants to know more about how to be right with God.

Sulay is very sincere. Although she has heard the gospel, she is still trying to figure it all out.

Catalina and Maria Paz Ulloa live in the same house with three of our new converts. Catalina is the grandmother and María Paz is the granddauther.

The lady in the middle and farthest from the camera with a Bible in her hands is Elisabet. She is saved and on fire for Christ. To her right (your left) is her mother, Catalina. On her other side in dark blue is her niece, Maria Paz. Maria Paz is 15 years old and is very interested in studying the Bible and being saved. Her father is not in agreement.

Ruth and I sat down with Catalina and Maria Paz and went over the gospel carefully. God is illuminating their understanding that forgiveness comes by grace through faith and not by human effort or good works.

Betty is also very interested.

In this Bible study, Betty is the lady farthest to the left.

Betty is struggling with repentance. She knows she is not living in accordance with God's Word and would have to make some major changes if she follows Christ. We are encouraging her.

A fifth person to remember in your prayers is Fernando, a young man we mentioned in a previous prayer letter.

He just recently made a profession. About a week later, Fernando began to cool in his desire to learn more. We are very concerned for him and would like for you to pray that he will continue on in his new life in Christ.
