Update On Rene

Yesterday I had the chance to speak with René again.  He is doing very well other than he may need another surgery on his knee.  It’s been four months since his last drink!  I also found out he is friends with another brother in the Lord, Otilio, in whose life God has brought about great transformation.  I had the pleasure of learning Otilio’s testimony several years ago.  This is wonderful to hear that René has other Godly influences in his life.  He no longer hangs around the guys that were a bad influence in his life.  He has been attending various churches several times a week and would like to find a church he can stay at.  King’s Fellowship is far for him, especially with his leg, though he would like to come.  It was very humbling when he said I’m the first one of his Christian friends for whom he prays.  Yesterday he shared with me how he can picture the Words from the Bible when he reads them.  God has been giving him revelation of His Word.  Lastly, René requested prayer.  He is so hungry for it and believes in its power.  What an amazing story of God’s continuing grace in René’s life!
