Claudia

Please be in prayer for my new Mexican friend, Claudia.  She is 14 years old, and will turn 15 in about a week or so.  She has had so much pain in her life, and we are praying that God will soon begin to open up some beautiful opportunities for her.  She came during Mexican outreach week, and has been with us ever since.  This is her 3rd week here with us.  She has said that it is amazing to be around people who aren't yelling at each other all of the time, but are happy and loving.  She accepted Christ one week before she came to the Ranch to do outreach.  Now she says that she wants to be a missionary.  Last night we were looking up some verses in the bible and she didn't even know what the Old Testament or New Testament was.  I was like, "Duh!!!"  She just became a Christian!  I am hoping to take her to a bookstore here to find her a nice study Bible.  The Bible she has uses "vosotros" (which is a verb form only used in Spain) and she does not understand that verb form.  It's kind of like us trying to read the King James version of the Bible, but worse.

I could write so much about what we have experienced with her.  She needs prayer for safety and that God will help us to help her and that he would reveal his plan that is far better than we could ever "ask or imagine."
