When he arrived in El Paso to be with his wife and children, because of his criminal past, his wife resisted him, even though he told her about his new faith in Jesus. This became a challenge to Luis who persevered in prayer and in humility serving and modeling his faith in Jesus to her and his children whenever she allowed him. When things in his life got beyond what he could bear he would call me for support. After praying for him and consoling him I would direct him to the local church who was better equipped to help him and his family. In the meantime, helped by the Christian Service Center, we have sent boxes of clothing for Luis and his wife and children.
Then they started attending Mountwood Church of Christ in El Paso, who adopted that family and started helping in whatever they needed. Recently, while attending a Ladies Class, Maria opened her heart to the sisters present. They surrounded her with love and tenderness, offering all the help they needed. Last Sunday Maria could no longer resist the love of the Lord which came to her through her husband Luis and the local Christians. Following the morning worship María was baptized. When I called her on Tuesday to congratulate her she told she had never felt so happy. We praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
