Our trial and how we are making it
 
As most of you all have read in our newsletters we have been going through a horrible trial that involves many things happening all at one time...

Things I cannot mention on the internet...However we feel it has to do with the robbers that got into our home. They stole all our computers with information...

Well, in this process our son Dirlei that worked for us in the church office we had to lay him off and he has been without money to pay his personal bills...his motorcycle payment, guitar pedal payment and personal things. He recieved word today that if he does not pay within the next 10 days he will loose his bike. He is pretty worried but I cannot help him. I am not asking for money but would like for you all to pray for him.

He is at a time in life that the devil I know is pulling at him from lots of directions...

I have got to go for now but wanted to ask you all to pray. I know we have a praying family here on the forum. He has been out looking for work but in this area things are very hard however God one way or the other is able to help him.
Thanks so much.

Sis Alvear, I have been praying and will continue to pray.
Is Dirlei feeling better?

Thanks for giving us specifics on what to pray for.

Yes, I think he is feeling beeter. He was very sick that night I asked for prayer and I think he is real worried...he is our baby boy and he does not remember hard times like we are going through as much as the older ones remember...this has been very tough on him. He goes to the churches and helps out with music so he uses his bike a lot but I can see no way of keeping up the payments. I hate that I cannot help but just keeping food for us and our people has been overwhelming lately however God is helping us and I know we will come out on top!
Thanks for your prayers. Time is running out and over 190 million
people are depending upon us to give them the word of life. Blessings to you dear friend.

This is where our hearts should be, thinking of the lost--sometimes us comfortable Americans (myself included) needs to be reminded of the bigger picture.

I will be praying for your son!

Yes, He will...and as Job said, though He slay me yet will I trust him.

Praying for you, Sis and for your son. I wish I had the money to send you to pay off your son's bills.
