Recently, some of us in the community became preys of a business scam. I met some people from La Trinidad who were also duped into the scam and I made a call for group prayers and encouragement. These prayer meetings went on until I was able to establish friendships with the attendees. Auntie Lulu, an elementary school teacher, invited me to come to her place and introduced me to her family. These visits went on until we felt led to meet often and came to a decision to come together regularly in prayer and studying the Word of God.
Auntie Lulu became bold in sharing her newfound faith to her co-teachers who were business scam victims like her. But they ostracized her because they still resented the fact that they have not yet recovered their investments. But this didn’t stop Auntie Lulu from continuing to tell others about her joy in the Lord and her being strengthened by what she derives from attending our Bible discussions. Auntie Lulu and the rest of her family are now actively participating in our weekly group meetings, which Tania and Tess have also joined.
Please pray that every member will grow in the grace and in the knowledge of God. Pray that we could recover the investments. Pray also that God will raise an SBC leader among the members of this community. Pray that God will protect them from the evil one and that God’s Word will transform their heart’s and minds.
