Translated from Spanish into English:

Dear Sister Rene and Bro. John: (Son Rise IT Center) I am forwarding to you a letter that was sent to me by Laura. Laura used to live from time to time between Miami and New Orleans, and she moved to New Orleans permanently a few years ago.

I will only summarize the part (of the letter) that pertains to you. "She and her family were getting ready to evacuate the city on Sunday. It was Saturday, and she was having doubts on whether or not they should leave. Last year they evacuated at about the same time of year, the baby was two weeks old. but nothing happened. As they went out Saturday evening to buy the babies milk, she recalled a word and prophecy that Sis. Rene had given in Miami many years ago. It was about what was going to happen to New Orleans. (destruction) This was God's time for that word to come to pass. As she began to share with Jorge (her husband) the prophecy, he told her that this could very well be God's time for that prophecy to come to pass. She shared with him that Rene and Bro.John had said that many would not believe, and would go about their lives as if it were business as usual, celebrating the Carnivals (Mardi Gras). Almost at that very moment to their surprise and as a confirmation, people came parading in front of them on the street wearing Mardi Gras like costumes as if nothing were going to happen. They immediately decided to leave that very night." Needless to say, because the Lord brought that prophecy back to her memory, and they heeded God's word, she and her family were saved from additional hardship, anguish and perhaps even death. I know that testimonies such as these, strengthen and encourage you to continue forth with the ministry that the Lord has given you. Those that have heard, believe and heed God's word shall be saved as the Israelites were saved when the Angel of death passed through Egypt. Love you and God bless.

Note: It has come across our desk that this week of the hurricane was to be the grand, yearly Gay Parade in New Orleans.
