Yesterday I requested prayer for Deborah, a young girl on a missions trip to Costa Rica.
She had been caught in an undercurrent while swimming, and we didn’t know how she was.
I just found out that Deborah died.
I don’t know this girl, I only know that she loved the Lord and loved people enough to want to tell them about her savior.
Her life was not in vain. She was on a trip to fulfill her wish to share the Gospel.
Deborah’s family and friends need our prayerful support now.
I don’t even know her last name, but I know how to pray.
I also know that she is in the presence of her loving Lord, receiving her reward for obeying His commision to go and tell…
and giving her life in the process.
Please Pray.
