Filadelfo Santos Perez trafficked drugs before he came to faith in Christ.
Now a pastor, he has been persecuted many times for his Christian faith. He has been arrested for failing to participate in pagan festivals and charged heavy fines.
On one occasion, he was denied food and water for three days. After constant threats, Pastor Filadelfo was driven from his village because of his witness for Christ. He now rents a small room in another town, but he feels called to continue sharing the gospel in his home village despite the opposition.
Pray that Pastor Filadelfo will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be an effective witness for Christ, especially to those who are opposed to the gospel. Pray that whenever he shares the Good News many will believe and receive salvation. Pray that God will supply all Pastor Filadelfo’s needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19).
