Anthony Mollano is the son of one of our dear brothers in
Christ (Enrique) at the church. He and his other son Jonathon are the only
believers in the family. Please pray for this family as the funeral is today
and Tio Oscar is going to preach tonight. This young man had been involved in
narco trafficking and gang stuff. Just last Thursday at church Enrique asked for
special prayer for his family as they were going through a very difficult time.
I had no idea that his entire family had been threatened by opposing gang
members of impending death. Enrique went to talk with some of those gang
members pleading for his (Enrique's) wife, his grandchildren and his daughter.
They told him they wouldn't kill any of them, but his son, Anthony was a marked
man. Because all of the government offices here in Chile have been on strike
(the county morgue as well) it has been difficult to get the body released, but
it was finally done this AM and Pastor Oscar had to go and recognize the body as
well as dress him as Enrique nor Jonathan could do that (due to grief). Since Sunday night I
thought I kept hearing a bunch of fireworks going off close by and they haven't
stopped. IT WASN'T FIREWORKS..it was gunfire as the gang members of the
deceased son show their grief and remorse at what has happened while screaming out words of REVENGE. The opposite gang members are answering back
with the same gunfire. I can't believe this is happening AND DON'T BE SCARED...we are
safe...but our MAIN PRAYER is for HIS LIGHT TO BE SHONE IN THIS WICKED
DARKNESS. And for strength for Enrique and Jonathan. Anthony's Mom's name is
Raquel and our church has been praying for her for years and you can imagine
that she is broken completely. Up til now she hasn't wanted to have anything to
do with God or the church...we are praying that this tragedy may change her
heart.
