A Ray of Hope

The streets of Mexico City are no place for a kid to grow up. But from about the age of twelve to twenty-three that is where Arturo has lived. He has been in and out of rehab several times and is struggling to start a new life. Drugs, alcohol, fights in the streets, prison, you name it, Arturo has lived it.

For about three weeks now we've been getting together. We've been studying the bible and I've been giving him bible verses to memorize. However, the fight for his mind has been intense. He has been tempted beyond compare and to top it off his family has been going through some really hard times.

Please pray for Arturo. Please pray for God to get ahold of his heart and transform him from the inside-out. Pray that He uses him mightily for His glory to reach others who have suffered through the same situations.
