Fear, death and hope

We learned that this weekend one of our Jane Jones Beca Students, Marlon lost his little brother. Carlos was 16 years old and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was killed when a bullet from battling neighborhood thugs went his way. He was struck in the chest and died quickly.
Marlon is grieving, scared, and weighing the decision to go to Nicaragua, where part of his family is living. Please continue to pray for Marlon, his family, the situation, and the decisions that need to be made. Missions Impossible International helped pay for burial costs for his brother, which, in a poor family like his, is over a month's wages.
Thanks for your support. Without it, we could not financially support those in need in times of crisis, like Marlon's.
