Hector Garcia (shown below with their daughter Dayhra) and his wife, Juanys, accepted Christ in 2008. Hector is a strong leadership candidate at Monte Horeb mission and is a bright student who learns quickly and tries to apply what he learns to his life. He is contemplating how God may use him in ministry. Hector and Juanys have been evangelizing friends and family, realizing that the One who redeemed them and transformed their lives from utter hopelessness to eternal hopefulness is the only true Hope for those they love. Satan is clearly not happy with this as their extended family has suffered greatly from attacks. Since their conversion, there have been extended family members intentionally run-over by car, involved in adultery and child-abuse, and incarcerated for murder with a firearm. In each case, Hector and Juanys are the ones their friends and family turn to for assistance and for answers to the spiritual questions prompted by these life-changing events. Their testimony remains true and God has used their faith to turn these tragedies to His glory by bringing new believers into His Kingdom. For the Garcia family, these events punctuate the results of sin and rejection of God. They are, of course, thankful that God has redeemed them from the life of sin that some extended family members still embrace. Please pray for them. Pray for their endurance, for their own protection, and for God’s mercy on their extended family. These are difficult situations – and all on top of the “normal” problems of raising six children, running a household, and making an income during a bad economy.
