Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
 
I don't know where to begin and ask that the Holy Spirit will guide whatever I write.
 
We are a family who have tried our best to follow the Lord's leading for many years, taking us through life in a frequently precarious and difficult way - THE Way. Recently, one of our five children ( and right now only the Lord knows why) has turned her back on God and us, to rush into the arms of the world and ALL it has to offer.
 
We have been through so many tough times as a seven-some, because of our Saviour's Love for us and ours for Him - and remained steadfast in our faith. However, we now realise that gradually, though not imperceptably our 18 year old (eldest) daughter has rejected the Word and decided to have an unholy physical relationship with another girl, choosing to leave home the same day she told us.
 
We are devastated by this, but what has just happened is one in a long line of seemingly insurmountable problems we have faced daily since moving five years ago to a very isolated place in a foreign country, knowing not why except that we were following the Lord's lead.
 
We are praying constantly, seeking His will for us all, "loving God more than our daughter/sister", not knowing wether we are waiting for Jesus to find the lost sheep, the return of the prodigal, or wether we are Mr. & Mrs. Job and family, or even sometimes wondering if we're being punished......!
 
Since we worship at home, we don't know anyone we can have a like-minded conversation with or who could be of support, let alone pray with (in the same room) in Jesus' name!
 
Please will you pray with us/for us that the Lord will intervene in our lives in a miraculous way for our daughter (altho' of course we know it's her choice to turn round or not), and also in other ways which I haven't even mentioned where we desperately need help in a very practical way.
 
We long to go HOME - with NO-ONE left behind,  but we pray so hard that before then, the Lord would see fit to let us at least have fellowship with some of our brothers and sisters.....
 
Thank you so much - God bless.
 
Jos and family
