He's free!

Here he is - the guy we've been praying for for months! Yesterday we went to a special thanksgiving/birthday celebration. You may remember that he turned 16 the day after he was imprisoned. It seems that he was beside a fight between two school groups. When the police turned up the guilty kids ran away and the innocent were punished.

Leroy gave a great message of encouragement to the family. Here he is reading a letter from one of our supporting churches who have been praying a lot for the family. It was so encouraging for the family to hear of their prayers. They seem to be good but I imagine events like this are quite overwhelming for them. It seems he won't be behind with school work. He will have some catching up to do but he will be able to do that while continuing on in the next level when school re-starts.

Thank you for your prayers and praise God for this wonderful positive answer.
