Friends,
Greetings from cold and gray Lima.
I got a quick request for prayer from Ismael, a former student. You may remember that Nan and I were in Guatemala from October of last year until March. I taught several courses to native speakers of Indian languages from several different countries in the Americas. One of my students from that course is a university student in Bogota, Colombia. He is headed back to his home village during these days between semesters. He is one of just a very few Christians in his entire language group. He has heard that village elders have looked on his conversion to Christianity as a very bad thing and that they plan to reign him in and force him to return to the religion of his ancestors. He says that he is willing to die for his faith.
