Ashaninka volume 10

Who needs drugs, alcohol, thrill seeking or chocolate????  A rush like no other is witnessing a heartfelt prayer of repentence and acceptance of God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ!

Last night, as Brent sat on a tree stump, me on a wooden bench beside Kelly, and Lydia on the ground on a palm mat, two precious souls were saved.  Lydia is 40, has 5 children, is married to a nonbeliever and has always had a deep hunger for God.  She has gone to every type of church there is, knows many answers to Bible questions, but still had no idea where she would spend eternity or if she was a child of God.  She was so ready to receive Christ.  With many tears, she pleaded with God not only to save her but to make her a witness who would carry this message to her family.  Her daughter, Kelly, is 15, a Junior in high school, washes other peoples' clothes by hand to have some money, and is also very open to God's truths.  She also was ready to take this leap of faith.  She knew she was missing something and timidly and tearfully, asked God to save her and make her part of His family.  She said later that she felt a chill wash over her during her prayer.

We are so happy for these two, yet it only increases our burden for the many more around them who are lost.  Lydia desperately wants her husband to believe and for her whole family to grow together.  She has an adult daughter, Kati, a 12 year old daughter, Lily, a 10 year old son, Kevin, and a baby daughter, Katerine.  Please pray with us for them, as well as her husband, Eduardo, and her many siblings, nieces and nephews.  Also, her 70 year old mother, who is very ill and wants to die, rather than be a burden to her children, is unsaved.  She speaks very little Spanish, believes deeply in witchcraft and is very unfamiliar with foreigners, so with Lydia's help, we will go see her tomorrow and try to reach her heart with God's Word.

Rejoicing with the angels today!
