Prayer request - betrayal

Please pray for Richard. He has been betrayed by a friend, someone we have helped a lot has been stealing from us and selling the stuff he steals. He has also given in to temptation on other serious issues. Please pray for him and his wife and two young children. The reason I ask for prayer for Richard, is that he really enjoyed their friendship. Since we've been back in Haiti we've tried to deal with him in gentle ways, but now it's obvious we have to "cut him off" ie. not hire him for anything anymore and not lend him money even for necesseties. After having several things confirmed by several people, we see that we would only aggravate the problem by trying to help out. There are good pastors and other Christian people he can go to for help, but Richard will miss his friendship. We pray that this young man will be honest and be willing to change so that the friendship can be restored someday.
