"Nos regocijamos en el Señor, a pesar de la paliza"

"Nos regocijamos en el Señor, a pesar de la paliza"

Bansari, Jaladhi, Kuyil, Sunita and Viveka son cinco mujeres misioneras que trabajan para el ministerio "Gospel for Asia" (GFA). El 24 de julio en el Estado de Andhra Pradesh, India, estas mujeres se dirigían al supermercado (que se ubica cerca de las oficinas administrativas de GFA) con algunos panfletos para compartir sobre el evangelio. Mientras las mujeres entregaban estos panfletos a la gente, se acercó un hombre y les preguntó qué estaban haciendo. Cuando Jaladhi contestó que compartían acerca del amor de Jesús, el hombre le dio una bofetada. 

Bansari, Sunita y Viveka se apresuraron a auxiliar Jaladhi, sin embargo el hombre se lanzó contra ellas y las golpeó muchas veces. Mientras tanto, Kuyil, que se encontraba en otro extremo del supermercado, logró huir de cinco hombres que la habían rodeado por completo. Los transeúntes fueron testigos de lo ocurrido y no hicieron nada para evitarlo. 

Las misioneras sufrieron golpes e inflamaciones en el cuello y laceraciones en las orejas. Sin embargo, no fueron golpes serios o letales. 

Al regresar a las oficinas administrativas de GFA dieron aviso a sus líderes de lo ocurrido. Según sus declaraciones, ellas se rejocijan en Dios a pesar de los golpes sufridos. Esperan que Dios pueda transformar los corazones de sus agresores.

Pido sus oraciones por: 

• Protección para los misioneros en esta área de India (Andrah Presh) mientras siguen compartiendo sobre el amor de Cristo. 
• Transformación de los corazones de los hombres que atacaron a estas cinco misioneras. 

¿Tú también eres Rut?

Querida Nohemí: me contaron que lastimosamente perdiste a tus hijos y tu esposo. No puedo imaginar el dolor que sientes. No puedo imaginar cuán cansados tienes tus lagrimales y tu corazón. Es seguro que por cada minuto que el reloj cuenta, sientes desfallecer en el desconsuelo. También, supe que pediste a tus nueras que se marcharan para que ellas pudieran rehacer sus vidas. Sin embargo, hubo una valiente que decidió quedarse contigo y acompañarte hasta el fin de tus días: Rut. Por un momento, pensé que serías abandonada a tu suerte y que nadie se encargaría de ti. Dios te ha mostrado su fidelidad a través de tu nuera.

PD: Espero que alguien más lea esta carta

Este día tú puedes actuar como un gran instrumento de Dios en la vida de una viuda. Este día tú puedes convertirte en alguien como Rut. En India, muchas mujeres viudas han sido abandonadas y parecen no tener esperanzas para sus vidas. Estas viudas se están enfretando a pobreza y hambre extrema. Son abandonadas, tal cual los mismos perritos de la calle. Se necesitan más "Ruts" que puedan ser usados por Dios para mostrar su fidelidad, amor y salvación a estas mujeres. 

Atiende a toda viuda que no tenga a nadie quien la cuide - 1 timoteo 5:3

Donando la cantidad que Dios disponga en tu corazón, puedes ayudar a una viuda en India. Para mayor información, da click aquí:

Hope for the whole family

   

Hey, guys! :) I wanna share this story with you. I'm praying  that God can touch your heart through these words.

Hope for the Whole Family

Sachi watched her husband become more and more dependent on alcohol to get through each day. She and Javesh had small children to feed, but whatever money he made, he used on his addiction. The situation grew worse, and their food was beginning to run out.

The only glimmer of hope in Sachi’s and Javesh’s lives was that their son Chakor was enrolled in a Gospel for Asia Bridge of Hope center. They knew he was being cared for and given a nutritious meal every day.

While Chakor received the opportunity to learn and grow, things were looking grim for the rest of the family.

One day, during a regular visit to the family’s home, the staff members from the Bridge of Hope center realized how dire Chakor’s family situation truly was. After meeting with the family, they decided to offer Sachi a job as a cook at the center. She was overjoyed at the prospect.

The new job meant income, and an income meant their family wouldn’t have to starve. Sachi was very happy to be able to meet all her children’s needs again.

God Answered Their Prayers

The Bridge of Hope staff continued visiting with and praying for the family, and slowly, Javesh’s life started to change. He stopped drinking alcohol, and he began to use his wages to provide for his family again.

Through the prayers and friendship of the Bridge of Hope staff, Sachi and Javesh saw the love of Jesus and knew that He cared very much for them. The couple and their children embraced the hope that can only be found in Christ.

Today the family attends the local fellowship together, and their home is full of God’s peace. Not only has their outward situation changed drastically, but their inner lives were transformed as well.

So, what do you think about this story?  I don't know what is to face a problem like that, I don't know what is a broken home for alcohol or drugs. I don't know about that because I haven't lived that situation. Even though, when I was younger I knew about 3 persons who suffered domestic violence because their dads had problems with alcohol. It is very hard to accept that you can't do anything to help them and their families. But it is encouraging to trust in the one who can fix a broken home, a broken life and a broken heart... Jesus Christ.

If you want to help in some way to Bridge of Hope, you can pray! Prayer is an extraordinary thing. If you wanna pray for all those hopeless children, I leave you here a link: http://www.gfa.org/pray/gfa-bridge-of-hope-center/

Broken for a purpose- Chapter 1

So, I'm reading a new book wich is giving me strenght in these moments of trials. God is using very much this book. This what I learned about chapter 1.

God is leading into the proof because he wants to teach things that in other way I won't learn. My teacher (the holy spirit) knows God's purpose, so he will work in me rembering all my characteristics: my weakness, my failures, my fears, my family, my environment, etc. When I think about this I'm overwhelmed by the work of the Father, spirit and Son! They're very busy working so I can become to the image of Christ! This makes feel very loved. I'm sure that Jesus is working and fixing me, 'cause in his time he want to present me to his Father without any spot or wrinkle. If I think in this way about times of trials or my situation, everything can turn different. I'm not saying proof will end in this exactly moment, but if I take a correct attitude about this lesson that my Lord is trying to teach me as well, I'll get a great chance to become more like Christ and die more to myself.

Finally, I think this book should be shared with you, my dear reader! It would be great if you read this book someday. If you do so, I'll love to hear about what are you learning or what you learned from it. 

PS:  I'll be posting some stuff about this ministry
