Dear Friends and Prayer Partners
The LORD will be a Refuge for His people (Joel 3:16)
To you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will arise with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2)
Thank you all for your continued support, and for all the many gifts and thoughts that you conveyed over the Christmas period. The Lord is working in an amazing way here in Santiago, and you are all part of His outpouring of love on the indigenous inhabitants. Above, is our new logo depicting the volcanoes of Guatemala, and the Lord as a Refuge for his people. Behind the volcanoes, the Sun reveals the Lord Jesus Christ arising with healing in His wings. The Hebrew word for ‘healing’ comes from the verb rapha - “to heal, cure, repair.” Salvation is God’s rescue of the entire person – the healing of a soul that has sinned and the healing of a broken heart. Jesus, “the Messiah is compared to a rising sun, which has visible, radiant beams of sunlight streaming outward in all directions. From each of these beams of glorious light, healing flows.” (New Spirit Life Bible – Word Wealth).The Lord is a Refuge and Healer of the entire person. In this land of violence, oppression and extreme poverty, the Lord is touching lives and softening hearts. El Refugio Centro Cristiano is well-known now in Santiago, and hurting folk are coming all the time.
