Good news & prayer request about Carline and TiNor (Francoise's brother)

A while ago we asked you to pray for Francoise's brother's girlfriend, Carline who was very sick. She been getting better, but does not fully have her strength back yet. (She went to get a job cleaning someone's house, and was hired until the person saw how weak she was. Then, they said she wasn't well enough.)

Even better news is that Francoise has been influencing Carline. And she was asking Carline to go to church with her. Carline was very hesitant. She was worried about looking nice enough to go because in a lot of churches here, people put a lot of emphasis on how people look at church. But Francoise has been going to a Calvary Chapel here (in Creole, though, not English) and they are very friendly and accepting of everyone. So Carline went and really liked it. Then she was asking Francoise how she learned to pray like she does. Francoise said she listened to Chrisitan programs on the radio and heard how the people pray on there.

Sadly, throughout all this, Francoise's brother has treated Carline badly. He has said very mean things and even hit her. I'm not sure how much but TiNor has at least dabbled in drinking and drugs. It was to the point recently that Carline would go into the weeded area near Francoie's house to hide, for hours or even a night. So Francoise told her brother to leave her house, to go back to where he was living before and to leave Carline with her so she could take care of her.

Today when I asked her how things were going with them, she reported that her brother wants to go to church and change his life! He said he would need decent shoes to go. So we're going to try to help out with that. We're very surprised and a bit skeptical, but praying, and hoping...

Another good news item is that Francoise has an interview today to work for an American couple cleaning in a guesthouse. Although it's probably parttime, if she gets this it could be really good for her because they are likely to pay her decently, at least per hour, pay her on time and will not mistreat her. They are super nice Christian people.

Thanks for praying for these things. Have a great Sunday everybody!
