ESPINOZA, RAUL & JESSENIA (Guayaquil, Ecuador; MSC) Praise: That Jessenia's parents were able to come for a visit. For some good Bible study sessions with young adults from our church about spiritual gifts. That our family has continued to be granted safety amidst the violence and unrest in the country. PRAY: In the last few weeks the government of Ecuador has declared a sort of "war" against the organized crime in the country. This has set off a series of violent actions across the country and for one week we were housebound. Now things have been calming down, but we still recognize the need to be careful. Please pray for peace in the country and that the new president would have wisdom and courage to finish what he started with regards to organized crime. Pray too for wisdom and safety for our family and community and that the Lord would use all this uncertainty to bring people to Himself.
