IMPACTO: Prayer Requests & Update on Pastor Carlos
Pastor Luis phoned and asked that I send everyone the following information:
Yesterday afternoon around 4 p.m. (Saturday, Jan. 3), the Iglesia Adonai Praise Team was practicing for this morning's worship service. There were around 14 people present for rehearsal, including Giovanni's young boys. As they rehearsed, 8 armed gunmen entered the sanctuary. The gunmen had everyone to lay on the floor, face down and proceeded to rob them of their wallets, purses, cell phones, the church's keyboard and all the microphones. Praise God, they did not hurt anyone but they were all very frightened, as you can well imagine. Please pray for the ones who were robbed, for God to provide funds to replace the stolen keyboard, microphones, personal items, and peace for each one who went through this ordeal. Also pray that the robbers that they will one day know the saving grace of God. And, prayers of thanks and praise to God for His loving protection for the worship team and their families. God IS in control.
Many of you have asked how Pastor Carlos is doing...he was able to preach last Sunday morning! It was the best medicine of all for him. He is still taking it easy and tires easily. He and Delmi thank you for your many prayers and generous offerings to help pay his medical expenses.
Thanks be to God for His protection and provision for all the ones mentioned above. We have much for which to give Him praise.
In Christ,
Sarah
