jorge!

by having several volunteer teams back to back, i've had a chance to get to know jorge. it is definitely not a coincidence that he is the driver we've received 3 weeks in a row. jorge lost his wife to cancer not too long ago, and he is embittered towards the religion she embraced (and also encouraged her not to seek treatment). through several of the teams conversations with him, his struggle with grief has been heartbreakingly apparent.





as different people from the teams have reached out to him, really just through friendly interest in his life, we've seen him open up a little more with each group. this past week, it barely took an invitation for him to join us for a church service rather than nap in the van or run errands. it's really neat to watch the work of the Holy Spirit softening his heart! please pray with me, for he and his children as they deal with the loss of their mother, and most importantly, for their salvation.
