Dear Praying Partners,

Bro Tristan went to be with the Lord earlier today, Sunday, January 23. He was 14 years old. Our hearts are broken and yet rejoicing at the same time, broken as we miss our fellow laborer and rejoicing as his battle with cerebral palsy is over. He was never able to walk while he lived here on earth, but we know for sure that he's now leaping in glory with his Savior, praise God! I've attached a picture of Bro Tristan here, it was recently taken when we gave him an award for being the "Most Inspiring Member". You can see in the picture how the right side of his body would lock up and cause him extreme pain, yet nothing could stop him from serving the Lord while he was alive. Even in extreme pain he would come to church, study in Bible School, go out soul-winning, and he was even part of our team of Bible teachers who are entering public schools here to share the Gospel. We're going to miss his presence so very much as it was such a blessing and inspiration just to see him. I've honestly never met anyone personally who inspired and challenged me in my faith as Bro Tristan did. I can't wait to see him again in Heaven! Please pray for the opportunity to share the Gospel at this time to his lost family members and neighbors. The next couple of nights will give us a great opportunity to do this. I've already seen the mother responding to the conviction of the Spirit and praying the same for the father, siblings, etc. There wasn't a person near Bro Tristan who hadn't heard the Gospel so pray that God will use us now to water the Gospel seed that Bro Tristan had faithfully planted.

God bless,
Fergusons
