Augustine

We have a young man in our church named Augustine. He is someone who was led to the Lord this past summer. We have seen great growth in his life. He has a burden for the people in his area (he is not from Ojojona) and we have started having weekly services in his uncle's home. We have seen a lot of people from that service receive Christ as their Saviour. We even pick up a truck load full and take them to church in Ojojona every Sunday. At first we were just taking Augustine, but lately many more from his neighborhood have been coming. Unfortunately Augustine has not attended in the past few weeks.

Our neighbor, Douglas, who is friends with Augustine (they were baptized on the same day), told us that Augustine is trying to go "wetback" to the states. Douglas told us that he has not been coming as he is afraid to talk to us about it. He has gotten encouragement from some people in the states that it would be a good thing to do.

Please pray for us as we try and deal with this situation. We know that God is never in favor of someone breaking the law to make money. This is the first time in our ministry that we have had to deal with a situation like this, but it is not an uncommon thing. Please pray that we will have wisdom in this situation and that God would get a hold of Augustine's heart.
