Saturday morning when Mark and I went to the street to check on our people, we found Mauel de Jesus, one of the men we had been checking on and concerned about, dead. Mark went and got the first responders while I sat with his girlfriend, Sonja, and comforted her. It was sad. We waited for them to come and investigate and then went to the morgue with one of the guys to find out what can be done about burial.
That night, Mark, Carlos (a good friend of ours), Alicia, Bailey, and I went to where they stay and had a memorial service for him. I made food and Mark and Carlos shared from the Bible Ps. 23. We prayed with 8 people to receive Christ! Then Carlos played music and led them in worship and praise while we prayed with others and did the medical things we've been doing for them.
They asked Mark and Carlos to come back and do Bible Study with them, so they are starting to plan once a week or so to go back and do praise and worship with them as well as Bible study.
Please pray as we begin this new phase of street church (something we've been wanting to do for a while!) that God would lead us. Also, pray for Sonja as she mourns Manuel's death.
