A Mercy Drop on Martin

Mercy Drops are falling. I once heard David Ruis speak at a conference. He spoke about God dropping His mercy like great big raindrops upon the lost and hurting people of this world, not only because we cry out, but because they cry out, “Oh God, help me!”
About two weeks ago, God dropped His mercy upon a man who we know. His name is Martin (pronounced Marteen in Spanish). Here's a photo of Martin (on left) with our friend, Luis. Martin is a crack addict, who lives here in Anonos. Martin often comes by for food. We used to give him food all of the time, but now we don’t, because we found out that he sells it for crack. Instead, we now give it to his mother, with whom he lives.
Rodney, Luis and John, our pastor friend from Vermont were walking down the dirt road in Anonos, when an addict came running to them for help. They had pulled Martin out of the river, where he had been wedged between two rocks for about an hour and a half. Martin had taken 5 hits of crack and had decided to go for a “swim in the pool”, which in reality was the river which runs through Anonos.
When Rodney and the others finally saw him, he was having a convulsion, foaming at the mouth, with his eyes rolling in his head. The other crack addicts were furiously at work, taking his wet clothes off with a large knife. Rodney and the men were praying for Martin, when the ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital.
For three days, he could not be located and we all thought that he had died, but God had mercy. Martin joined us at a festival that was held here in town last Saturday. He said that he’d been clean for a week. Mercy dropped on Martin. He has another chance to allow God’s love to give him strength. Please pray for him!
