Public Calamty in the countries of de Central America!

Beloved Brothers and sisters,
My desire in my daily prayers is that may God bless you, after this small greeting I pass to tell you that our situation here is worse. Many brothers and sisters have no job, no hope and no food. About one week ago our Prime Minister here in Belize declare that our nation is in recession and Public Calamity, this situation is because of the world economic crisis. Our crop this year was lost because we don't have rain. This year was a very dry year.  Guatemala is in the same situation, the President Alvaro Colon declare that the country of Guatemala in Public Calamity. Brother Steve is there and he should know about the situation. We have families here that only eat one meal a day, some of them don't have any food at all. The hunger was only in the African country, now the hunger is in our own lands. Almost all the Central American countries are suffering this crisis. I hope you help us in these moments of critical situation we need Zion urgent we need Zion here. In these countries the governments don't have a program like in United States which helps the people. Here every body save by yourself or in Spanish we say Salvese quien pueda. This is our situation here. May God bless all of you your faithful Servant in Jesus Christ.

Seventy: Arturo Gomez

Seventy Randy Vick is currently serving in Afghanistan as part of the UN Police force. He asks for your prayers in behalf of the women and girls of Afghanistan. They don't know Jesus Christ, so they cannot know the hope and love that comes from Him. Their culture thinks so little of them and offers them almost nothing.
