September 2014 - Here is where we live

Hello dear friends,

Today I'd like to share with you a need we are having. As you may heard, Guatemala City is the second most dangerous cities in earth.

Just this week (so far) 4 bus drivers have been killed because of extorsions. The gangs ask the bus drivers to pay a "tax" every month. If they don't pay, the gangs send someone to kill them.

This is hard for us. We use public transportation to go to church, to do shopping and many other activities. We live with this bad feeling when taking a bus and don't know if we will be able to made it safe to our final destination.

That's why we would like to ask you to pray for:

1. Guatemalan Goverment - That God give wisdom to our authorities. That the make a good use of the money to invest in security. That they can plan god strategies to eliminate the violence and corruption.

2. Guatemalan civils - As us, there are thousands of families, and individuals that have the need to use public transportation in order to go to work, hospitals, church, school, etc. May God keep them safe so they can go back to their families safe.

3. Bus drivers - Every bus driver killed is a new widow and orphan. Pray for this drivers. May God keep them safe. Pray for the many widows and orphans that God provide for their needs.

4. Us - When we got marry, we sold our car in order to pay the wedding. Since then, we have depend on public transportation. We are needing a car.The price of a car is between $5200-$6000. That includes taxes and other papers. Pray that we can find grace before God to provide us with a vehicule to be able to move in Guatemala safely.

Let us know how can we pray for you. What are your needs and struggles?

Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you.
