Pray for the Gutierrez Gang

Please join me in praying for my sweet seminary friend, Alicia, and her family.  Her husband graduated with Brian from Wscal, and they are now in missionary training in Bogota, Colombia.  Alicia travels alone daily to her language class and was recently the victim of an armed robbery.

Here is her story:

Pulling a "U-y" 

Praise the LORD for protecting her life, strengthening her through His Word, and giving them the wisdom and means to provide a safer means of transportation.

Pray that she would continue to trust in all of God's promises, knowing how much He cares for her. 

Pray that she would be full of joy despite such oppressive circumstances.

Pray that she would love, treasure, and desire Christ above all things - even more than the comforts of the USA that she longs for.

Pray that she wouldn't be tempted to give up in frustration or bitterness, but that she would persevere in the strength that only Christ can provide.

Pray that their family would be free of ill health and danger.

Pray that she would rejoice always (Phil 4:4).

Pray that she would not be anxious about anything (Phil 4:6).

Pray that her heart would be content (Phil 4:11) and satisfied in Christ alone.

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.  But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14

The Lunds love you, Alicia and Nathaniel, and we are covering you in our prayers always.  We are so proud of you and how you've been obedient to Christ's calling on your lives.
