Francisco

Please be praying for us and specifically for Casa Hogar Douglas these next few days. Just today a man named Francisco who has lived at Douglas all of his life passed away. He was 41 years old and abandoned as a child because he had some mild mental disabilities. He has spent nearly all of his 41 years living and working at the children's home. Today he was out working when we believe he experienced a seizure, fell, and died. He was found this evening. Please pray for the near 100 kids at this children's home who loved him dearly as well as the encargadas who felt like his parents and friends. The kids are pretty much in shock right now, but I am sure grief will soon set in. When you live in a casa hogar with not much to do, it can be hard to pull out of grief and move on. Please pray that these kids are able to grieve in a healthy way and are able to move on in good time. Pray for us as we try to be of help and comfort. I am sure that Francisco is experiencing more life in Heaven right now than he ever experienced on this earth... pray that the children will be able to understand that and will come to know there Father in Heaven even better as a result. To Him be the glory.

Thank you.
