Visiting Jose and Enrique... nice time with them


Here you have a picture of José Mendes da Silva (right) and his friend Enrique Arevalo. As you know, José came last Sunday nigth due to an invitation during an evangelistic outreach last Saturday. It was a suprise for all of us to see him coming, but we know that God led his paths to the church. Today I visited him in the place where he sells motorcycles and eventually some cars. We had a nice conversation, and then, his friend Enrique arrived. Enrique is a former alcoholic that is going to a therapy group since the last 11 years. He seemed so sincere and he looked surprise when I read the Bible to him explaining that the Bible calls drunkednness a sin. He listened carfully and he recognized that he kept going to the therapy group because of fear to return to alcohol. I told him what the Lord Jesus said in John 8:32 "The truth will set you free."
Also it was great to know that since last Sunday, José is inviting people to come to church because of how comfortable he felt among us. He has many friends in that nighborhood, so I know that God is leading us to this place to keep on sharing the Gospel. Please, be praying for these two men.
