Don't faint.....a post from AA! ;)

AA asked me to post this for her (mommy, u know I love u!) ;)

Yesterday I stopped at a farm where there are 6 Mexican guys who speak Mixteco de Monteverde. I was there to drop off a Mixteco Jesus video to a guy (Rogelio) there that we are very fond of; he was studying to be a priest in Mexico before he came up here; he has had exposure to Greek...studies the Bible a lot on his own when he is not milking. (He had seen the video when I had given one to a believer who used to be there. The guys recognize the voices of the narrators/actors of both the Jesus video and the Gospel recording audio tapes.)
These guys are from a village where the first evangelist who worked in the village was hung by a rope up in a tree after his underground meetings were discovered by the Catholic authorities. Persecution was so bad that the first believers had to move out. Now the peace is maintained by the believers living on one side of the river that goes through the village and the Catholics on the other side. The guy who was there at this farm and left to go back to his village (Pedro) told me that he had accepted the Lord while in California as a result of the Lord healing him from a severe illness. When he went home and the village found out, they threw him into the jail cell reserved for people that were going to be hung. He was only rescued when Christian lawyers from the city came to his aid. He and his family used to have to walk four hours one way to the other side of the mt. to attend church.
Rogelio was at work when I got there, however, the oldest guy there, a rather forbidding "Godfather" type of person, (Don N) very much the chief honcho, very Catholic, very resistant to the Gospel, was sitting in the living room. The last time he was up here working, I gave him a Gospel Recording tape in Mixteco which he used to listen to every night as he was going to sleep. To my bemusement, he told me that when he went home, he took his Jesus video with him and gave it to the person responsible for the religious instruction of the faithful in the Catholic church (the "catocist"). That person showed the video to the people and they liked it very much! He didn't want to give the video back Don N, so Don N gave it to him. Don N asked me for two more copies of the video to take back with him, and recommend to another guy that was there that he also get a copy; saying; "It is good to show to the older people who wouldn't understand the Spanish version." Needless to say, I was dumbfounded!!!!!! The Lord sure uses the most unexpected people to get the word out! Please pray for these guys, OK?
