Our friend from McAllen Church of God supports a children’s home in San Fernando, making frequent trips to the home with food and clothing. Those trips ended because of news that 150 bodies were found buried nearby.
Yesterday she received a phone call from the ones who operate the home. They own a ranch three miles outside of San Fernando, but because they were afraid to travel they hadn’t been to the ranch in months. They decided to check things out and they forced themselves to make the trip.
Before they got to their property, they smelled something overwhelming. They discovered wide open pits where evidently bodies had been removed. Their ranch had been used to bury many of the bodies recently found. At last count over 150 bodies were taken from there and returned to the morgue in Matamoros. Many were passengers killed when cross country buses were hijacked.
In another report, our friends John & Dorothy have a house in Ciudad Victoria, where they have lived for many years. Because of troubles there, they decided to return to Texas. Friends now live as caretakers in their house.
John & Dorothy got a phone call from them last week saying there was a gun battle in the house next door. They were awakened in the night by heavy gunfire, shouts and sounds of explosions near their bedroom window. They slipped out of bed and crawled on hands and knees across the floor and into the other part of the house where they hid all night on the floor.
A six year old child was caught in the crossfire and killed. John & Dorothy’s house is near the police station. San Fernando and Ciudad Victoria were places we went through often when we took Bibles into Mexico. And in San Fernando we spent the night in a motel on two occasions.
On the other hand, revival meetings started in a large church in Ciudad Victoria. Over forty people were saved on the first night!
Deuteronomy 20:3 & 4
"Let not your hearts faint, fear not and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them. For the Lord your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies to save you."
