Harvest Hands Ministry Prayer Request

March 12, 2025

Dear Friends,

We ask for your prayers for a dear lady who many of you know. If you’ve ever been on a mission trip to the children’s home Resplandor De Vida, you may remember a little Indian woman named Rosita who would come and sell her trinkets and souvenirs to you all. Yesterday her 14-year-old granddaughter was hit by a bus and killed outside of her home. Their street is a narrow dirt road and as the granddaughter was attempting to open the gate to allow their car to enter their property she was apparently run over.

Our hearts go out to Rosita and her whole family as they deal with such a sudden and untimely death of their loved one. Please join us in praying for the family that the Lord would console them and that He would draw them closer to Him during this difficult time.

Thank you.

Garry & Terry Mathewson
