Fw: help get the word out...

Dear Friends ... We do not know Leslie personally, but she is a sister in Christ and a friend of Jody's (a neice of ours).  Leslie and her family need our prayes. This is the most recent e-mail just received, but below is more mail that tells the "rest of the story" about Leslie's Dad's disappearance for those who don't know.  Please do add this prayer request to your list.   Thank you & God bless you.   My Dad has been missing for 18 days. There is no solid anything except that he is missing and there is no trace.  The police told us today they are still "watching" the person of interest, whatever that really means. They asked more questions today about the family and his past.    This is like a twisted nightmare. The trying not to mourn him battles the hope that he is still out there.  Our minds battle the thoughts of what happened to him against the hopes of our prayers.  Life just goes on around you like it has not missed a beat. This has not drawn us older siblings closer; it is like it drove us further apart. Maybe it would have been different if we had not just buried Cindy.   Hope and faith are carried by the hands of Jesus Christ; ours come unto Him empty and full of dirt.  We are not hopeless-He loves us.  i really miss Him, even though He holds me now.     Thank you all for your prayers. Those prayers have lifted us beyond what we are living.   Goodnight- leslie   BELOW ARE THE 3 EARLIER MESSAGES WE HAVE RECEIVED: __________________________________________________   Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 11:58 AM Subject: Fw: help get the word out... THESE ARE THE 3 MESSAGES GOTTEN SO FAR ON JODY'S FRIEND'S FATHER .... __________________________________________________   Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 10:06 PM Subject: help get the word out... Please forward this on to everyone you know. This is from a dear Christian woman, Leslie Engle, whom we know who lives in Stow, Ohio. Her dad (who lives in Colorado) came up missing a couple of days ago. We can help them by praying and sending this out.  From: Engle Family Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 12:10 PM   Subject: Fw: Jack Gordon Missing They have still not been able to find my Dad.  Yesterday the search and rescue were even out on horse back around the land where he was.  It was said it is like he stepped off the map without a trace.  There was no sign of struggle as if he had walked up on someone trying to take things from his land.  His wife says there was nothing abnormal about him that morning.  He was going up to their land like he often does and his van is there, just not him.  It is so hard not to sit and try to speculate all of the things that might of happened or where he is.  He lives in a rural area, Fort Garland, CO.     We feel helpless so far away and don't know what else to do but pray.  The hard part is, I don't know what to pray and it is hard keeping focused on here and what the kids have going on when all we can think about is where is my Dad. Jesus knows it all...we just need to keep reaching.    Please pray for all the people who have been waiting and praying for their missing children.  This is hard with my Dad, but it must be beyond awful if it were your child. Please pray for my Dad's wife, Lenny, she just called and is just broken. This is the missing person poster out for my Dad.  My brother/brothers in law and sister are working with the police department out there.  They told us all to send it to everyone we knew and ask them to forward it on.  Even though we are here, they say people know people, know people, know people, and that is how it gets out.  Please let me know if it comes and you cannot open it, I will copy and paste and resend.   Please keep praying. leslie        ____________________________________ Update: From: Engle Family Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 6:45 PM   Subject: Update on My Dad The police have done complete searches on the surrounding areas where my Dad's land is and he has not had a stroke or fallen there. There is no evidence in his van either. There is a suspect they have put an APB out on that was a neighbor who left around the time the police started looking and has not returned home yet.  There is speculation from another neighbor that this guy was a marksman, had many weapons, and did not like my Dad. They say this could explain why there is no sign of struggle because he could have had my Dad at gun point, or because my Dad knew him and did not know he did not like him. However, this is just one persons take, and while it is easy to jump on what seems to make sense and believe it all out, we do not know.         Jesus knows where he is and we just pray we find him.  I would love for my Dad to be alive and ok, not dead somewhere. The not knowing is hard. Jesus wants us to keep going forward, toward Him, in this race.  He is beyond beautiful.  His love is unexplainable.  His voice is what stills the air.  The silence in your soul, while He secures you, is complete. All I know- is Jesus is All I know.  The rest of this life, right now, I don't really understand.   Thank you for praying.  Please remember to pray for all of the families with children missing.     leslie        ____________________________________     I just spoke with the police department and today they asked the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to help them.  This is an answer to a prayer.      The Sergeant told me that the "person of interest" in my Dads disappearance goes by more than one name and already has warrants out for his arrest as a Sex offender and other unrelated things. He said they do not have enough evidence for a search warrant and this mans mother is a key, however she will not answer her cell phone and they have not been able to catch her at home. It has been reported that she has given away her son's horse and people were moving things out of his house.  It is hard to think that this would not be enough for a look around, although the laws have to be followed.     Until Jesus tells me to stop praying for my Dad to be found alive, that is going to be my prayer. I know the odds of him being alive are not too good, but something just keeps blooming hope in that deep safe place Jesus holds.  Maybe it is because Jesus has my Dad with Him in heaven already and that would give me peace.    Please also pray for me to behave in a manner that Jesus would smile upon with my brothers and sisters and other family members. There are so many of us, with such different beliefs, and so much baggage.         Thank you for all of your prayers for all of us. leslie   __________________________

Prayer Request

Dear Brother Shelby, Greetings in His name. I am here to ask you all to pray for the one day youth retreat Word India is arranging on the 28th of October. We are expecting atleast 125 young people from the village and forest areas. This is not in a city or a town but in the forest area were the youth 99% will be of tribes and forest village people. Please be in prayer. The three pastors of Word India are doing well. Pastor Krupakar and Pastor Sudhakar have started two new church plants nearby their ministry fields. I will be visiting them very soon. There is an invitation for me from 5 families near the city of Hyderabad to start a church in their area. Please pray that God help me to understand them better and study the area to start a church. God willing this will be our main church for SMC in India. There are few more families who may join the church at this place. These are prayer requests and kindly send it to our beloved members of SMC to pray. Thanking you Boosa Moses India
