"Ask and You Will Receive"

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened" Luke 11:9

On Tuesday, June 24, Margarita and Elsa were sitting on the porch of my aunt's house chatting with my cousin Betty and waiting for all the Bible Study students to arrive. A young woman from the neighborhood(reading the Bible) came by to borrow something. My cousin shared with Elsa and Margarita that she had been sharing the gospel with Bertica (the woman's name). When Bertica came out of the house, my cousin introduced her and invited her to sit and chat awhile. It was obvious that this was a divine appointment. Bertica's heart was soft and ready to accept Christ as her Lord and Savior. Through her tears, she shared with us her anguish and her pain. She and her husband have not experienced the joy of having a child. They have been trying for fourteen years, and although she's conceived, she had miscarried. Margarita wisely opened the Bible to 1 Samuel 1, the story of Hannah, a woman who was barren and whose heart's desire was to have a child. She went before God and prayed fervently for a child. God heard Hannah's prayer and answered it. She had many children. Bertica was encouraged by God's faithfulness and requested prayer. Margarita called Beatrice, a missionary with the gift of healing, she also called me to intercede on behalf of this brokenhearted woman. Beatrice laid hands over Bertica's womb, we prayed and we believed that God was going to open this womb and give this couple the greatest gift of all...a child.

Last week we received an e-mail from Bertica; she is pregnant. PRAISE THE LORD!!! She requested prayer for a full term, healthy baby. Please join us in prayer for this new sister in the faith.

Sancti Spiritus Ministries will be sending Bertica the pre-natal vitamins she needs. We thank you, our faithful supporters for your prayers and financial support, your gift continues to give. May God richly bless you.
