Miguel needs your prayers

Miguel’s mother was murdered before his eyes four years ago (If you know of Alex, Miguel is his cousin). His father is distant, if not cold, toward him and his siblings. He ended up running the streets.

On December 26, Miguel came to church for the second time, and at the end of the service came to give his life to Jesus. The Lord began working in him and changing him.

Miguel receiving the Lord

However, three weeks later, some of Miguel’s old friends came around and by the time the evening was finished, Miguel was in jail after holding up a store. Today I was able to see him for the first time since his arrest. Miguel is doing well. He realizes that the Lord has a plan for his life. First thing, he asked Alex for a Bible. I “just happened” to have one with me to give him. His cell mates call him “the pastor”, because every morning he leads them in songs and prayer. Now they’re going to add Bible reading to that. Last November, one young man from the La Vega youth prison where I minister each week was transferred to this prison. He says he will also be part of the Bible reading time with Miguel.

Please keep Miguel and Pedro (the other youth), in your prayers. God is being glorified even in these difficult times for them.
