Life of Hope Prayer & Praise Update

I've mentioned several times a ministry called LIFE OF HOPE that works with the street children in Latin America, specifically in Guatemala at this time. Here is their praise & prayer update, please say some prayers for the people below. Prayer is powerful so please join with us.

"Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us,
carefully guard the precious truth that has
been entrusted to you."
2 Timothy 1:14

Life transitions are always scary and difficult. God has entrusted us with His love and power to overcome the things that the evil one has done in our lives. This week a group of boys are leaving the streets and starting a new life as a family in the hostel home. This will be a time that God will speak to them more about His love and power. However, this will be a time that Satan will be at full battle trying to destroy these boys. They need our faithful prayers this week that God's angels will protect them from temptation and distractions. May the power of the Holy Spirit be extremely present within them blocking Satan from any earthly victories.

In Christ,

Please pray for the following throughout this week:

Jose Ernesto was very aggressive and reluctant to participate when he first came to the day center. However, he now has a positive attitude and takes part in a lot of activities. Thank God for this transformation, and please pray that Jose will continue forward in this way.

Gerzon was at first very irregular in his attendance at the day center. However, he decided to continue with the process of leaving the streets, and is now at the hostel. He has a real desire to follow Jesus and to have a different life. Please pray that God will help him to achieve this.

Jose Ricardo suffered a lot of bad treatment while on the streets, and was often in tears at the day center. He was encouraged to attend the day center by the love and attention he received there, and is now in the hostel. Please pray that God will heal Jose of the hurts from life on the streets, and that Jose will continue to know he is loved.

Although at first Jose Antonio showed very negative attitudes and aggressive behavior in the day center, he discovered a love of carpentry. Because of this, he kept attending the center, and is now in the hostel. Although he found it very hard to stay off the streets, he has managed it. Please thank God for this transformation in Jose's life, and pray that he will stay in the hostel and away from street life.



* Please pray for the protection of the street team as they work in dangerous areas: Cesar, Romeo, Dorita and Irma.
