This is a friend or mine and a member of Ptr. Tony's church. There was a situation recently where a nephew of a fellow church member stole out of his store's register. He caught the person in the act and, in defending his store, he attacked the thief with a bolo knife and injured him. When he realized who it was, he had mercy on him. He turned him over to the neighborhood police and told them to go easy on him. Now we have some bad feelings between two family's in the church. Please pray for a spirit of forgiveness and unity as we deal with this situation.
Cock fighting is a local past time. There is gambling involved, of course. While we were talking with these guys, we got chastised by a local woman who told us that as pastors we should not be hanging out with these guys. Hmmm... that sounds familiar. I told her that our purpose here was to share the love of Jesus with the people that needed it the most. I think she was ok with that.
