Urgent Prayer Request

Sosimo Avila's Father passed away today and went home to be with the Lord. In the hospital he came to know the Lord as Sosi's sister Rosie (Bergy) shared with him about the Love of Jesus. Sosimo was also able to send a voice mail through the internet that they were able to download onto an ipod and let his Father hear as Sosimo shared God's Love with him.
Please pray for the family as they make preparations for the funeral which will take place in Mexicali, Mexico. Also pray for Sosimo as he makes preparation to travel back to the USA. He has a lot of responsibilities here in Okinawa with full time classes and all his ministry that he does at Futenma Chapel ministering to the Marines. The Lord has given him a lot of peace in this heavy situation. Please continue to pray for the whole family that God would continue to pour out His Grace to them all. Love, Pastor Tommy

Sos, wow! You're an awesome brother. I had no idea till someone told me, and you were pushing on like normal; like a warrior. Also good news that your dad heard the Word and accepted the truth. Just want to leave an encouragement in Psalms 116:15. Your dad's in a better place!!! Praise God!!!

We're praying for you Sosi! God speed as you travel and go be with your family. We are very sorry for your loss but rejoice in the news that your father came to know his Heavenly Father. Josh and I miss you and think of you often.
