PLEASE PRAY

To those of you who read this and pray, I am asking that you would please pray for a couple in our church. DH just received a phone call from the husband saying that they were robbed. This couple has just recently moved back to Hungary. They are 69 and 70 yrs. old. During the war, they fled as two single people not knowing one another and met at a refugee camp. Through the years, they married, worked so hard and raised a family. He became a businessman and just in the last year sensed God was calling them to return to their homeland. They just recently had their flat built and we were there for dinner last night. Everything looked so pretty and they were excited and talking to my husband about where and how they can help out in the church. They both are so remarkable-I was actually going to write about them tonight anyway-but now this! Please, pray and intercede-their safe was stolen and all her jewelry. This was their life savings!! It was a lot of money and the robbers hit a gold mine! We believe that since they just recently had many different workers building their flat that it is someone like that. Their flat isn't convenient to the public so in an hour while this couple was gone today is when it happened. We are so distraught for them.
Did you ever watch a movie from the olden days-this couple reminds me of something out of a movie-we actually encouraged them to write their story-even last night as they sit together her hand is placed on his-they are so beautiful inside and out. I asked God-why them-why not me? Why not someone else? What is the good that He will bring from this? I don't know-
Please pray also that the police will be honest. Here they don't have a great reputation. Bribes are big here and it takes nothing to have them look the other way. Pray the person (s) will be convicted and people will talk and the guilty will be caught. Pray that whoever did this will miraculously realize what they have done and repent!! Please, with man things are impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible.
Oh thank you-thank you Jesus that we have the power of prayer-it's all in His hands.
Thank you friends who read this and pray-God uses even these technical gadgets for His glory-all around the globe we can write and request prayer and people are praying! AMAZING!!!
On our way to church now-if I can I will write later tonight :)

awww- this is so heartbreaking! :( I will be praying for truth, forgiveness, and that something good will come out of this so that God's name will be glorified.

I will also pray that your friends won't get discouraged and question God's calling for their lives.

God bless,

Oh Hun I'm sending up a prayer that God will return to them all that was stolen and restitution as well.
What satan intends for evil God will turn to good ~ I Know somehow and some way that God is going to bless them beyond their imagination.
Thank you for sharing their story and giving us the opportunity to pray for them.
Blessings!
