Torrential rainstorms last Thursday afternoon took the life of 15 year old Ana Gabriela. Daughter of one of our staff members here at NCA, Ana Gabriela drowned as she was trying to cross a flooded bridge on the way home from school. I went to the wake Thursday night. There were so many people there, both from NCA and the local community, bringing words of encouragment and comfort to the family. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. LORD we lift this family up to you in the power of prayer. Thank you for your unfailing love.
Getting around town today, Saturday, was slow. The devastation from the fierce rains is evident all around. Walls have collapsed all over town, and many homes have been destroyed in the floods. Roads are blocked with fallen power lines, Managua is a mess! Please lift up all the families who have suffered terrible losses due to this dreadful weather, and also pray for protection and the peace that passes all understanding in the midst of all this. Thank you Father for your mercy and grace.
