Grief

Tonight we learned that one of our neighbors, Christian, committed suicide.  He leaves behind a wife and three young children.  It is so hard to comprehend the grief his family is experiencing right now.  They have had some losses recently - the loss of Josefina's father and their horse died last week.  Christian had struggled with alcoholism for years, all of these things culminating to the point where he felt life was hopeless. This is why we are here, to give people the hope that only Christ can give!  Please pray for this precious family and for us as we minister to them.  It is tradition for the family to rent a tents, chairs, and dishes along with providing food for the entire community.  If you would like to help with any of these expenses or would like to help Josefina and the children on an ongoing basis, please let us know.

James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
