Profession of Salvation in Poços de Caldas

Some of you will have heard of a sad case that happened in Poços de Caldas (about 115 km from us) in the beginning of October. A young woman who was coming to the Gospel meetings held every fortnight in that town was attacked by an ex-boyfriend, who killed her current boyfriend and shot at her a few times. She was taken to hospital in coma, but still alive. For a few days she hovered between life and death, and then started recovering. She still has a bullet lodged in her stomach somewhere, and a colostomy has been performed on her.

We were at the meeting there last Tuesday, and heard that she has professed to be saved. The brother in whose house the meetings are held has been a great help to her and her family, but she was not out at the meeting -- not only because her health is still frail, but also because some relatives of her murdered boyfriend have been coming to the meetings, and they blame her for his death.

It's a difficult situation, so we value you prayers for this young woman, and for brother Paulo and his family (who live in Poços and meet with the assembly in Aguaí).
