Recently, I was reading Daniel, chapter 2. Something stuck out to me that I have never really ‘taken in’ before. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, and he wanted the ‘wisemen, soothsayers, etc, to come and both tell him the dream, as well as interpret the meaning. When none of these guys could figure anything out, Nebuchadnezzar got super angry, and gave a command to put to death all the wisemen and soothsayers in the land. This included Daniel, and his friends Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael (aka Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego). Daniel asked the king if he might grant he and his friends some time to figure the dream out. His request was granted, and Daniel went to his friends and explained the situation. The four of them sought the Lord together, and asked GOD for compassion to be able to discern the dream. GOD spoke to Daniel, and revealed the dream, as well as the interpretation, and Daniel and his friends were all saved.

The thing that stuck out to me, was that Daniel shared the situation with his friends, and they sought the Lord together for a resolution. The Lord heard them, and gave them the answer they sought. Four GODly young men, standing together, crying out to the Lord for divine intervention for their very lives. Not one of them did this alone. They came together and sought the Lord. I immediately thought of you, our dear friends, partners, and intercessors. We share stories, both the difficult and the victorious. We bring requests to you, asking for you to share in each situation in some form. We cannot do this without you, and I don’t think the Lord would want it any other way. None of us are lone rangers. We need each other. We need the Body of Christ, just as Daniel needed Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael. Thank you for partnering with us in furthering the Kingdom. Just as the 4 young men sought the Lord together and asked for divine intervention, we thank you for seeking the Lord with us, for whatever He lays on our hearts and minds. We need YOU!!

This month we are sharing a story (and ministry) very dear to our hearts. You would have heard in recent news, of the small medical plane that crashed in Philadelphia. Sue, a missionary nurse friend, cared dearly for one of the victims at her ministries therapeutic ranch for disabled children in Maneadro; a small rural agricultural town just south of Ensenada Mexico.

Over the past couple of years we were blessed and honored to meet Sue, visit the ranch a couple of times, and deliver donated medical supplies and horse gear. After this tragedy, we have connected another colleague ministry, Circle of Concern, who are collecting medical supplies for the ranch at this very moment, including a needed activac negative pressure machine to close pressure sores. (A resource that had been needed to help Valentina – and will help many others in the future).

Please take a moment and visit His Wings Ranch website. With all that is going on in the world, I promise it is uplifting to see the joy of these kids from the love and care they receive. And maybe consider helping with a donation in memory of Valentina! ❤️

“Wayne & Carol;

Our hearts are broken by the death of two beloved members of our community, Valentina Guzman Murillo and her mom Lizeth Murillo Ozuna as well as the lives of the 4 professional providers on board the plane, and bystanders killed or injured on the ground in the plane crash in Philadelphia on January 31st. We have worked together with Valentina and her mom for the past 5 years, to assist with her Spina Bifida condition and her numerous health challenges at His Wings Ranch.

Lizeth applied for desperately needed medical care from Shriners hospital, and Valentina was approved for services at their Philadelphia hospital to address a pressure sore associated with her Spina bífida condition. After receiving months of treatment at Shriner’s hospital, Valentina and her mother were flying back to Tijuana (in route to Ensenada, Mexico) when the accident occurred.

Valentina and Lizeth lived here in Ensenada with Lizeth’s incredibly supportive parents, who fought alongside Lizeth for the best quality of life possible for their grand daughter Valentina. She was deeply loved and adored. Valentina’s mother was one of the most attentive and loving mothers a child could have, never leaving her side. We ask that Valentina’s grand parents are given time to process their tremendous loss and grief in peace. We are forever thankful to Shriners hospital for providing high quality medical care for Valentina and for providing so much peace and reassurance for Lizeth who knew her daughter was getting the best care available.

Valentina and Lizeth lived every moment together and they entered eternity together. Our hope and comfort is in the Lord Jesus, that they have run the race and they are forever together. Please pray that with this tragedy, beauty will come from the ashes, that we at His Wings Ranch may continue to work together to fight alongside parents like Lizeth to improve the quality of life for their children who need help regardless of the country where they were born. – Sue Fasino “
