Sebastian is a local construction worker who we have known for several years. He recently came to our house and asked to talk to Michael. As they chatted, he burst into tears and explained that his 18-year-old daughter with special needs had been severely burned in an kitchen accident. She was cooking on a traditional stove called a plancha when her blouse caught fire. She didn’t know what do so she just curled up on the floor as her skin burned. Thankfully her little sister saw the flames and quickly called her dad who put out the flames with is bare hands and then rushed her to medical care.
Here we during one of our visits with Esmerlda (in red) at the national hospital. Please pray for Esmerlda as she is undergoing skin grafts and the painful process of healing from burns. We pray that God will use us to show the love of Christ to her and her family.
