Dear Friend,
Too often life takes us to a pit in the ground so we’ll look up and realize that there is a loving father God above looking down waiting for us to cry out for HELP!
We too often see only the “I” in LIFE! But once we get to that point of desperation, hopelessness, and depression; that is when many of us come to realize who is the giver and keeper of our life!
In the community of Recreio, we’ve recently witnessed to such a person. Adair, is the local school director, whose son, Lucas (that you may recall from a past newsletter) attends the LightHouse Recreio.
Lucas’ mother Adair, is a very influential woman in the community being in charge over the school system which has more that 2,000 students.
But her professional position has only brought her stress and depression. Due to the heavy violence in the schools where there are guns brought inside by the kids and also due to the teachers who are constantly going on strike and not wanting to come to work for their safety.
Adair’s personal life is not much better. With a husband who has always cheated on her, bringing strife and division in the home. And their son Lucas has problems with homosexual tendencies, chronic lying, and identity crisis. But we have seen God do a huge work in Lucas since he has attended the LH.
Praise God!
Adair on the other hand had recently started to drink a bottle of whisky a day and even attempted to commit suicide. In the midst of her despair she remember the times that our LH staff had witnessed to her about God and how he can make her life worth the living.
On a day that there should not have been anyone there-Adair came to the LightHouse door franticly pounding. As the LightHouse team listened, she cried, opening her heart up for the first time. She repented of her sins and became BORN AGAIN! She is now on fire and openly tells everyone what the Lord has done in her life! We are doing a weekly follow up for her, giving her the prayer and discipleship needed.
She has now opened the school doors to us, giving us free access to pray and evangelize to all the students and teachers!
