Evalio was a former gang member from Belize who knew Christ, helped us with our Hispanic outreach and who gave me a CD of Christian songs in Spanish so I could learn to play and sing them (something I still have not done). Please pray that authorities will be able to find his next of kin in Belize. Evalio listed my wife and I as his closest "relatives" when he was in the hospital last and still carried the Church in the Woods card in his wallet wtih our phone number.
Evalio was close to our autistic son, Parks. At the hour of Evalio's death last night, Parks woke up and came to our bedroom to get his mom. She lay down with him and both stayed awake for a few minutes.
Cindy was jolted by a dream/vision in which she saw a glowing arm reaching down from the sky, pointing a finger and touching Evalio's forehead. She felt something like an electric shock. She looked at Parks, and he was asleep, smiling. A few minutes later, a pastor at the hospital called and said she was there when Evalio died. She said, at that instant, he stiffened as if he had been jolted by electricity. Then he lay quiet, smiling.
Here is a picture of Evalio and his infectious grin:
I wanted to post this on my blog to bring honor and awareness to this man and the ministry that touched his life. http://home.earthlink.net/~churchinthewoods/ is the website. This is a ministry blessed of God and Al, a warrior worthy of note and praise.
If you feel led, please contact via his website to donate to this ministry. I am posting this on my own and Al hasn't approved this.
