TalkLady 06-03-2007 11:33 PM

Sis. Alvear, you have several people praying, but I hope there are reliable law enforcement people that you can contact, too - if you feel you need to do so.

Trouvere 06-03-2007 11:36 PM

Reliable law enforcement???? The last time bandits broke into their home they stole everything including one of the children.They tied the Alvears up etc.They emptied the house out as though a moving company had arrived.
Much prayer is needed.The area of Brazil sister lives in has corrupt law enforcement.You can't just up and call the cops like in America.

LaGirl 06-03-2007 11:38 PM

TOOK A CHILD?????????? WHAT??? did they get the child back?

berkeley 06-03-2007 11:38 PM

let's talk about what happened later... pray please....

TalkLady 06-03-2007 11:39 PM

OK, Trouvere....That's why I said, "I hope there is reliable law enforcement."...I did not know. I am fairly new to this board.

Yes they dumped him off in a village down the road after they safely rode off with all the Brother and Sisters stuff.Its not like she can replace it easy either.
Things are expensive

The Dean 06-03-2007 11:40 PM

Prayer is being made now.

TalkLady 06-03-2007 11:41 PM

Let's all just keep praying.

SDG 06-03-2007 11:43 PM

My Jesus .... you're all we have ... help.

rgcraig 06-03-2007 11:47 PM

I know these folks are praying people, but we need to intercede for these precious people right now!

Lord God, we pray your Mighty Hand of Protection upon the Alvear's

home and family right now, in the Name of JESUS!! May the angel of the

LORD encamp about them. Lord, keep your people, keep their home,

Therefore, we look to YOU, Lord Jesus, to keep these dear missionaries

from harm, IN JESUS Name we pray. Thank You, Lord, for Your Name is

Blubayou 06-04-2007 08:53 AM

Praying for this wonderful couple. Please update us as soon as possible.

Sister Alvear 06-04-2007 09:57 AM

Thank everyone for your prayers. It is not our custom in Brazil for Christians to have a gun but a friend gave my son His gun and last night he shot several shots in the air after the couple called us and told us men were in the yard...
We all stayed in our room and prayed for a good while later we heard 5 or 6 shots up the road so God changed their direction and they went somewhere else.
It is so dangerous where we live but it is dangerous in other areas in this town...
My husband called the police but they never came and called a guard he knows but he was somewhere else and could not come...Thank the Lord for the weapon of prayer.
Thank you so much for praying.
The devil hates us and stirs up all he can to take away our peace but we know when he is working like he is that the real reason is light has shinnned into his dark kingdom and precious souls are finding their way out.
Just yesterday one of our teams was down in another state lead by our son Michael and 4 new people came to the Lord and a man all curved over was instantly healed and stood up and walked away completly healed...Our kids had just got in from that state right before the bandits arrived!
In our local service we had several to come to the Lord so it is normal that the devil will fight back.
We love you folks and please keep our safety in mind.

In His Work:
Brother and Sister Alvear and family

Blubayou 06-04-2007 01:03 PM

Sister Alvear 06-04-2007 03:44 PM

Thank you all for your prayers. Due to poverty and just life in general here this area of Brazil is very dangerous. Thanks for your prayers.
