The dad is, for a lack of better terms, a dead beat dad who is literally drinking and smoking his life away. He is very welcoming and accepting of our team though. A few months ago when we shared the Creation to Christ story with this family, the mother said it's all good and makes sense but she can not believe in it. She said she will die Muslim because that's what her parents expect. However, she was unable to tell us a single thing about her religion. She has agreed, though, to letting team members Keri, Susana, and Jenny continue to come back as well as spend time with the oldest daughter, Onaizabe.
Onaiza says she agrees with the gospel and that Jesus is who he says he is, but is scared that her parents will find out. When we asked her to make a decision, she said she needed some more time. We encouraged her to pray to "Allah" and then pray to Jesus, and see if she experiences/ feels anything.
Jenny and Keri will be following up with Onaizabe tonight! We are prepared for two outcomes: she decides she wants to follow Jesus and learn more about Him or she decides she won't follow Him due to fear of dishonoring her family. Please pray for Lord's will to be done and that he would work supernaturally through her, which is what it often takes for a Muslim to come to Jesus. Also pray for continued opened doors into their home and that their whole family would give their lives to Jesus!
