I WILL BE WITH THEE

Left to right:  Nahum, Gerson, Dana, Esly, Miriam and Gerardo

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour."  Isaiah 43:2-3

Pastor Gerardo and his family in Nuevo Progreso are very noble and brave.  They have a clear vision for God's work and are not willing to lose sight of that vision.  Even though there are always problems and severe challenges, they are still able to encourage and uplift us.

Gerardo wrote down the verses in Isaiah some days ago in preparation for a sermon.  Now those words are special, as if the Lord spoke them to us today.  Gerardo and Miriam both agree that tribulations develop Christian character; and any work of God that will bear fruit must first endure hardship.

Please pray with us for this special family, that evil forces will no longer hinder them and the church. 

"He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."  Psalm 126:6
