JOSÉ SANTOS REYES


JOSÉ SANTOS REYES

Storm clouds darkened the afternoon sky, news alerts warned of tornados nearby but it didn't have any effect on our little group praying for José. Pastor Gerardo asked him if he was a Christian and he didn't  seem too sure. Lloyd and I sat in the shade with Marcelino, Apolinar and José while Gerardo explained the simple story of salvation. José had been ill and we were going to pray for his complete healing, but Gerardo told him the healing of his soul was more important than the healing of his body.

The storm didn't materialize. There wasn't a drop of rain, only the distant rumble of thunder while we prayed. José wiped tears from his eyes when he agreed he needed to repent and be saved. He repeated a prayer accepting Christ as his savior and then we prayed that he'd be healed.
