Prayer Letter

June 2004

Dear Friends,

We won Jovelina and her two children to Christ a few years ago.  Her husband, Valdivino, has shown a complete indifference to the Gospel all this time.  Recent events may have the man thinking.

Some time in the past, Valdivino was bitten by a "barber bug" (which is described in my Feb/Mar ´04 letter).  All of the medical exams point to this insect as responsible for the man's present condition: an enlarged heart which worsens as time goes by.
 
There isn't, as such, a "cure".  There are medicines to relieve some of the symptoms.  Some people respond to treatment.  Most don't.

Valdivino is not saved.  He works on a farm that is quite a distance from his family.  He spends most of his time there.

Pray: That he will come home more often.  At home, with this dread sickness, he will be in the church services.
Pray: That he will be genuinely saved.
Pray: That he will be spared to serve the Lord with us several more years.

Sincerely,


Dean and Deloris
