Florencio

Message from Vicente (our co-worker)
 
Saludos

In San Juan this past week we finished the Chronological lessons. I believe that God put in my heart to give a review of  all that we had taught in the Chronological lessons (Creation to the Christ).  Florencio interrupted me to tell me that he wants to follow God.    This Guarijio man

accepted Christ as his only and sufficient savior.   While I was teaching he told me he was struggling a little because the people in the village were making fun of him, and others were saying bad and offensive things.  He told me that all this was happening because he had decided to follow Christ.   But what encouraged me was when he told me this phrase “Ipakórume no´o na´ereori na´nairoma peichí neega Riosí,”   Which meant “Although the people make fun of me and treat me bad I am always going to follow God.” When I heard this I was so encouraged. 
This Thursday in San Juan I’ll start teaching in the book of Acts.   This will be a great encouragement for this brother in Christ because in Acts we can see what Paul suffered for following Christ.  

Please pray for us and the rest of the Guarijio because they are struggling with water.  There is very little water and the people get angry at each other for using too much but there just isn’t enough.
