We received word Thursday (April 17th) that Alexander's dad was in the hospital and not doing well. Since Kent was on his way into Tegucigalpa, he was able to get him there quickly. Alexander was able to spend many hours with his dad that night. He passed away the next day. April 18th we received word Alexander’s dad was in the hospital in the capital city and was doing very poorly. We sent him in and he was able to spend many hours visiting with him in the hospital. The next day, April 19th, Alexander’s dad passed away. Alexander had been a part of a street kids ministry. We took the other two students from the same ministry in with us the next morning for the funeral. As Pastor Jorge Pinto shared on the street in front of the home where the body was being shown, and then again as he shared at the graveside service, he repeatedly asked the viewers if they were ready to meet their maker, if everything in their lives was where it should be, and if they would go to heaven if they passed away. Please pray for Alexander as the coming days will be difficult ones. Alexander turned twenty-one today and has already returned to the school. His father died of a lung infection at the young age of forty-nine. Where do you stand with the Lord today? Are you ready to meet your maker?
