Last week, we went on an EBM retreat to Veracruz, Mexico(about 5 hours from Texcoco). While playing Marco Polo in the pool with the kids, I met a man, Alejandro, who was on business from Mexico City(about 45 minutes from Texcoco). We started talking, and he asked what we do here in Mexico, and so I told him that we are starting a church, do Bible studies, and family counseling. He then asked if I would counsel him and his wife as they are going through some problems. I said, sure thing. I recommended to him that he watch the movie Fireproof. Later that night, I saw him again, and he told me that he already got the movie and started watching it.
Once we returned to Texcoco, I thought I’d wait for him to make the first move. Yesterday, he sent me an email, and asked when we could meet. He and his wife are coming to church tomorrow, and we are meeting before church for our first counseling session.
We didn’t plan on making any contacts in Veracruz, and that man didn’t plan on meeting someone who would be willing to help him, but God was in control of it all as always.
Please pray first of all, for Alejandro and his wife’s salvation as well as God would work on their marriage.
