Matt Baker and I went out to Betania Sur this morning. Even though the pastor's wife called around 7 AM to tell us he had a doctor's appointment and could not let us in the building, we thought the kids would be there. They were not. Matt and I visited with Antonela who came by with her friend Cindy. They could only stay a bit.
Two boys we had not met before named Naldo and Javier chatted with us for five or ten minutes.
It was Luis, though, that made our day. He is 22 and works as a security guard. His father is an alcoholic and his mother is in the hospital. He has a deaf/mute brother who is 18 and does not seem to have had any training for life skills. Luis is basically the only support his family has and is feeling the weight of the world. He came looking for the pastor who is usually there every Wednesday from early in the morning. He was needing prayer. I thank God that Matt and I were there to pray with him.
We did not do anything we had planned. Matt was ready to launch into his study. God had us there for His purposes and not our.
