Deep and Wide are the Prayers that cover us.


My parents were visiting. Their first time to Guatemala. I could tell my
mom was looking for stories, things to tell all the friends and families
back home.

As she looked at me with eager eyes, I said “Mom, tell them to not
grow weary in prayer.” We are doing well and things are as they
should be. “We do not take this for granted. We see the covering...
we feel it.” I held my hands up and apart... “if I listed the blessings,
the provision and the protection we see it would be about this thick... it
is good and it is comforting. But what I know is that the blessings, the
provision and the protection is SOOO much thicker than we see or
feel. We don’t even know how deep it goes... but God does.”

The story is not new... but it is true as ever. Someday in heaven
someone from Guatemala will walk up to you who have prayed for us
and say “thank you for praying for the Sisneros’ family. Their strength
and obedience came from God because you prayed. I am here
because you prayed!”

If you pray for us, please do not grow weary. We are so thankful, and
know that battles are being fought on our behalf.

Our requests are simple at this point.

Pray for Guatemala. The people, the children, the small town of El
Rosario, the hungry, the homeless, the corruption.... Pray as the Holy
spirit leads.

Pray for discernment. We have a lot of decisions to make. Decisions
that concern our family and decisions about our ministry... what
exactly it will look like. How is God specifically equipping us to
minister? We want HIS place, and HIS time. We pray that each
choice we make pleases God.

Pray for continued confirmation. We are so human... always wanting
to be reminded that we are on the right path :)

Pray for our marriage. We are strong and in love... but we know that
our marriage is worth protecting at all times.

Pray for our children. As we move forward in ministry... we pray that
our kids hearts confirm the calling and that they know they are right
where God wants them. Doing his will.

Pray for protection and health. We know that our lives are in Gods
hands... it seems so much clearer here that we must rely on Him to
“live and move and have our being”. Nature and humans can destroy
it all so quickly.

We want to pray for you too...not growing weary goes both ways. Our
family wants to know your requests and we will pray!

Love,

Vonda
