Trying to find ways to reach my neighborhood, I asked "Amigos de Animales" to help do a clinic in my neighbor hood. We went house to house, giving rabies shots and inviting those who are interested to have their dogs spade for free at an upcoming clinic. At our last house, two doors from my house, we came upon a very sick dog, owned my their renter.
The little dog’s hair was matted against skin and bones. Its eyes looked at me as if to ask for help. The family was not home, therefore our group leader gave me a bag of food to give to the family and asked if they would like for them to take the dog and give it to a better family.
I returned with this message and the food. I was met by a boy of 14 years old. He looked so sad when I told him the message, that he needed to feed his dog and take care of it. or the Amigos de Animales could help find a good home for the pet. My heart went out to both the boy and the pet. The boy looked so alone as well.
I decided it would be best if I tried to help the boy take care of his dog. I also felt we needed to reach out to the boy. I asked one of the students from our NTM National Training camp to come and help me.
We met the boy and his dog on Saturday, November 15th. I realized I needed help to cut the hair and deal with the parasites, thus I took the dog to my veterinarian. In the mean time, Juan (our NTM student in training) took over and helped the boy clean out the dog’s living conditions. He invited the boy and his friends to have English classes at my house.
Two boys and one girl came to my house the following Monday. During the classes in English, Juan asked the students if they would like to study the Bible. They all seemed interested to learn about the Bible.
PRAY that they will keep coming and accept Jesus as their savior. Pray more will join them and they will be faithful to come each week.
After the Vet gave the dog a shot, it perked up and after the medicine, the paracites are gone. He has had a haircut and is doing much better.
Pray that his master will listen closely to the Words of the Lord, which are medicine to our soul. God is our strength, pray that He will show Himself to this boy and to His family.
