Our son Peter is currently on a medical mission trip with the members of several churches, including the one we attended in IL. Today we received an email from the church secretary:
Please pray for the mission team now in Mexico. They have witnessed an increase in the crime in Juarez, which seems to be spreading past nightfall into the day. Please pray that all are protected while they continue to carry out God’s work; that their fears be comforted in knowing that their Savior is with them. Please also pray for the innocent residents of the area, that they, too, are free from the violence and know their Savior’s love.
If you have a minute, please pray for our son, his fellow team members and the people to whom they are ministering. Thanks—we appreciate it!
I said a prayer for the safety of your son and the other mission members as well as the residents of the area. May they all rest safely in the palm of God.
I will pray too! How scary! I know what that feels like….:-(
Thanks, ladies….we appreciated your prayers. He’s back safe and sound 🙂
