Roughts-Why it’s a Privelege to Serve Him Here!

In the same way, I tell you, there is REJOICING in the presence of the angels of God over ONE sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
Good morning and greetings from Costa Rica!
This morning is a gorgeous, sunny 80 degree blast of God’s goodness. J
We just wanted to invite you to rejoice with our family.
After four days of Melissa’s visits made up of long conversations, opening God’s Word and a box of Kleenex, she poured her heart out to the Lord last night.
We have a new sister in Christ and she is A NEW CREATION! She is marveling in His love, her adoption as a Child of God, the miracle of redemption and is still trying to wrap her mind around how He has given her a “clean slate.” It is a joy to hold her hand through this!
Please continue to pray for these following areas:
· Discipleship – goal is to begin immediately
· the salvation of the father of her baby
· the birth of her baby girl (due in 4 weeks)
· Melissa wants to go to church with us on Sunday and bring her two children – pray that the church would embrace her (so many families are new themselves) and for Melissa to sense God’s leading as to where she may worship and grow in Christ
Thank you for your prayers. Please know this is such a beautiful example of how He responds to our prayers and such an amazing representation on His Sovereignty…His time, His conditions and the Work of His Holy Spirit to bring conviction and a sense of need for Christ’s cleansing blood. We are so grateful for your encouraging emails, shared excitement and powerful prayer support.
Que Dios les bendiga,
Ryan and Gretchen Rought
