Yesterday I had the joy of spending some time with Samy and I continue to be amazed at how God is working in his life. Samy is talking WITHOUT having to use a whiteboard, PRAISE JESUS! One can have a conversation with Samy without an issue and he is full of faith, humor, and staying strong in the Lord. His reliance on God is admirable and very encouraging. Please continue to pray for him as he starts all different types of physical therapy, we need God to continue to manifest miracles in his life. Also pray for Samy’s family, for rest, patience, strength, continued faith, and whatever else God puts in your heart. It’s beautiful to see how God is working in Samy’s family.

The family is grateful to God for His faithfulness and is blessed by the outpouring of support coming from the Church around the world. It’s beautiful to see the church united and praying together. As I reflect on this horrible tragedy that happened at ALCS, I can see the hand of God working mightily in the church through this situation. I see His light in the midst of the darkness, his peace in the midst of distress, and His faithfulness in the midst of despair. Hallelujah!
