Frank and Alicia







Frank and Alicia are some of our best friends here. Frank helps me study Spanish, and our families get together often. Two years ago Franks mother died of complications from diabetes. This struggle caused him to question what he believed. Although he grew up in a Catholic home, he had left the faith during high school. Frank met Christ through a pastor in the hospital waiting room. As a courier he spends a lot of time driving and listening to Christian radio. This was his major source of spiritual nourishment until he joined our church last year. It is exciting to see his enthusiasm for the faith. Through his testimony his neighbors and some extended family members have started attending our church. Frank is one of 7 brothers and I believe Alicia has 9 siblings. So through this family we've gotten to know a lot of people.






About a month ago, Heather hosted a baby shower for Alicia. Many of her sisters and some of Frank's family came. And about a week later Caleb was born. Please pray for this family as they grow in an understanding of God and his Word. Pray especially for Alicia. Although she is spiritually searching herself, she has been hesitant to embrace Frank's new found faith. She has been studying with the Jehovah's Witness. Pray that Alicia would recognize that Jesus Christ is God and the only hope for her salvation.

Alicia needs more than your prayers, she needs your pro-active help. Jehovah's Witnesses are a high-control cult that rob honest-hearted Christians of the freedom that Jesus delivered with His sacrifice. She needs to know the truth about the reality of the Watchtower Society.

Shawn spells his name wroing ... and that's just the beginning.
