Familia Guzmán

Yesterday, Shelli and I spent the morning at the funeral and burial of our dear friend, Javier Guzmán.  He pastored our church, Agua Viva, 9 years ago, not long after we had arrived in Mexico, and we had many opportunities to work together in evangelism and other ministries.  When we arrived back home here in December we heard that Javier (he was just 48 years old) had suddenly be diagnosed with cancer that had taken over his lower spinal cord and thus leaving him paralyzed and with little time to live.  We were able to visit him a number of times over the last two months and were encouraged to see his steadfast faith despite the suffering.  I’m sure he’s enjoying being with his Lord and being reunited with the many he shared Christ with in his years of ministry as a missionary and pastor. Please pray for his wife and for his three university-aged sons who have been carrying the ministry of pastoring their church over the past months.  Please pray for God’s provision (the family had no health/life insurance nor pension), strength and comfort through this difficult time.  Thank you.

In Christ,

Greg Neufeld
