Today was a very emotional day. Let me tell you one families story. This family was not getting a house but their sister was. We had just finished painting the girls nail and started talking to them about what life was like. The mom shared that her husband was working in the U.S. She also shared that one of here sons had been killed by the gangs in the last few months. She went on to tell us the gang had approached her younger son to work for them. He had refused and they threatened to kill him. The child had a lot of fear because of this . Our team was able to share that God would honour this commitment and that God knows what is happening him. They were able to share Jeremiah 29:11.For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future. When he was afraid he could call out to God and he would hear him. It was amazing to see and feel God's presence as we prayed for God to protect this boy and his family. Let's all lift up this family to God. We serve a mighty God.

So incredible how the people have such faith while enduring hardship unlike anything we could imagine here. Thanks for sharing, Julia. We will pray!
