Fernando of San Ignacio


We met a man yesterday who has a small tumor above his left eye. Because of the tumor, he has not been able to work for the past three weeks and his money is running out. He is a fisherman and he would come into town to sell what he caught. Jason and I gave him $70 USD to help out but more importantly we and the pastor's wife prayed over him. I prayed that God would heal him so that he will be able to work again and provide for his family...also, so that the glory of God would be revealed in a mighty way. I don't write this to ask you for money but to beg you for prayer. Prayer is more powerful than the almighty dollar...believe it or not! I do not know if he is a Christian but I can see that he has a kind and loving heart. I can also see how not being able to work is hard for him since he is not able to provide for his family like he was. But the Great Provider blessed me and Jason with more money than we needed so we were able to help meet a tangible need but he needs your prayers to meet his physical and spiritual needs. We will see him again this afternoon around 5 pm eastern time. Bring on the showers of prayer as we are with him and others in his community teaching the Bible.

Believing in miracles,
Nick

P.S.
I will post a pic of him on here when I get to a computer that'll read my camera.
