Meet Mimi!

I want to introduce you to Mimi [Naomi]!  Mimi is 39 years old and lives with our friends Clint and Karen in San Cristóbal de las Casas so she can be closer to her husband.  About a year ago her husband Samuel was accused of a crime that he did not commit. Due to the crooked government he is sitting in a Mexican prison. [The case is actually not even on file anymore because the accuser recanted her case.]  The lawyers that were going to help ended up crooked as well so, there he sits and waits.  But, Samuel waits in the name of the Lord.  His faith is strong.  Mimi’s faith is strong.  

I tell you this story so you can pray for Samuel to be released from prison ASAP.  While he sits in a Mexican jail cell we can pray.  Our God can move mountains,  tell the oceans when to stop, he breaths life into man…He CAN get Samuel out of jail!  He’s all about the rescue.  He always has been.  That’s what He is in the process of doing right this very minute.  Let’s join together praying for these special people.  Psalm 144:11 says this: 

 deliver me;
 rescue me from the hands of foreigners
 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful

One of the things that we brought with us down here was a diamond band for Mimi.  She and Samuel have been married for 16 years, but has never had a wedding band.  Karen had one sent to our house so we could bring it down with us.  Needless to say she when she opened up the box and saw what it was her face said it all.   She told me she prays that Samuel gets out of prison soon and that God will provide them “Uno Bambino.”  So y’all, thats what we are going to pray!
