Before going on vacation we asked for prayer for Julián, a man that Lupe wanted to have a Bible study with. The great news: Lupe and Leticia had the privilege of leading Julián to faith in Jesus a week ago! The not so good news: Julián was arrested on Sunday on a parole violation stemming from a crime he committed about 13 years ago.
I visited Julián in jail before he was sent to another county. He says he was unaware that he had any further obligations to the court. From a human perspective it seems sad that just when Julián is coming to faith and in an encouraging environment he would be snatched away and sent to another, less encouraging environment. But God is on the throne and he is not limited in the way he can work in the lives of Julián and others that are affected by his arrest.
Julian will probably be deported. If he is he will go to Tijuana and work in a restaurant operated by his niece. We have contact information for him there and we can follow up when he eventually arrives.
Please pray:
For Julián’s faith to grow.
For me to have wisdom in knowing how to encourage him.
For Lupe and Leticia to continue to shine Jesus to Julián’s friends.
For God to use this situation for his glory and the spread of the Gospel.
