Urgent Prayer Request

This is an update that Ann wrote here. PLEASE be praying.

My plans for tonight were to tuck the kids in for an early bedtime (in preparation for school tomorrow), and catch up on all our holiday activities on the blog. Instead, I come to you to ask that you pray with me and with the church here for our neighbor, Jose Luis. He and his family have been a part of this community of believers from the very beginning and are strong leaders in the church.
Jose Luis is a taxi driver, and this evening as we pulled in the drive way his wife, Adriana, came to find us. She received a call that he had been assaulted in his taxi and was at the hospital. Sam quickly went with her and found that he had been stabbed and that his liver was probably damaged. Jose Luis is in surgery as we speak.
His two children, Gloria and Jose, are here and have finally settled down. I think that Victoria has finally given into sleep also (tomorrow will be tough). Please pray with us that God will protect and heal him; that this will be a testimony of God's greatness; for peace in Adriana, Gloria and Jose's lives as the walk the unexpected, and for financial provision as he won't be able to work for sometime, I am sure.
