Have you ever seen a major change in someone? It makes a lasting impression. We have been blessed to be able to see major changes in an entire family since we have been here. We have seen the Carlos’s family (Christopher, Jose, Carlos, Fernando) make major changes in trusting God and trying to change their lives for the better.
Lillian’s home in the garbage dump
We met with their mom Lillian. Lillian is living in the garbage dump under tarps. She is being discipled by spending time with strong Christians and by spending time with God. She is going to church weekly. She is hungry for a change but she needs to work through her past and forgive. Please pray that she will do God’s will for her family.
Yesterday, we had a meeting with Lillian and the boys. They have made a commitment to go to school, church, and follow God.
We will need some financial supporters to donate money to buy food so the boys can eat daily. Phil is in the process of helping Tony set up a website to be able to support them. I will pass on the information to the website when it is set up.
Here is what is left of the outside wall of the boys’ house- you can see the tarp only covers part of where the wall was and the right side does not have any cover
The boys have been living by themselves or with their Grandma. Their house has had an outside wall fall down in the past two months. They have a tarp that covers part of where the wall had been. The boys referred to it as their “air conditioning” but the rain would come in as well.
We are going to be tearing down the boys house on Friday and Saturday so they can rebuild a suitable house for them. We already have the building materials for the new house. Please pray that all goes smoothly and that the house will be rebuilt quickly and efficiently. Thank you for your support!
