Jeff and I came home last night, walking from our Small Group meeting and Jeff decided to take Moses, our dog, for a short walk.
He quickly returned the dog and informed me that 5 or 6 policemen were surrounding the open lot 1 house away from our house.
They told him they were looking for a robber and they were NOT looking to just capture him….
5 minutes later, a loud shot rang out and we hunkered down and began to pray….we prayed that this person who was making bad choices in his life would not be killed, but have time in his life to hear the gospel and turn from his dark life and into the light of a life with Christ.
Today we have learned that a group of 6 men were on the road in front of our house, Avenida dos Americas, stopping vehicles and robbing people. The police put up a road blitz (where they stop all the cars, one-by-one) and captured all but 1 man who ran into our neighborhood.
We don’t know yet what ultimately happened, whether he was apprehended or killed after that shot rang out. We continue to lift him up in prayer and pray that if he was not killed, that he hears the Good News and chooses to follow Christ.
Lovingly sharing the gospel in Rio,
Diane and Jeff
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
