Jose is with JESUS!

This morning before 7am I received a phone call from Tonie. She told me she remembered that back at a Street Church in Papago Ct when Pastor Troy and Terry Schuff (RAVEN MIDWEST) were here one of the boys with Sergio that gave their heart to the Lord was named Jose and she wanted to see the picture to see if it was the same Jose who was murdered last week. I quickly looked for this picture. It's him. It's Sergio who was stabbed days after this picture that was taken, 7 times in the neck and face and left for dead on the very streets we minister and Jose on the far left who gave his heart to the Lord when Terry asked him, "If you died tomorrow, would you go to heaven or hell." "They had replied, "Hell." And Terry responded, "That's not okay with me." These same young men are the ones Shawna was off ministering too earlier. The gospel was shared and I remember her admitting that she wasn't sure if it had made a difference~ she was sowing the field. Then Terry reaped. This morning as we prepare to go to Jose's funeral what a difference going knowing that this young man is in the arms of JESUS. I cry out to you LORD: Father! Hear my prayer! Thank you for my brothers and sisters who stand in faith of expecting more hearts and minds to turn to you and out of obedience GO and preach the gospel that saves! Lord, come today and be the comfort in this tragedy to Jose's family and friends. Let their hearts find solace knowing that he is with YOU. Lord, I am amazed by you. In JESUS NAME, AMEN
