Diablo's Birthday

Dear Friend,

I¹ve never had a birthday quite like this one before!

As I told you a few weeks ago, at the urging of the leader of the largest gang in the largest prison in the country, I returned to El Salvador on my birthday to speak in the jail. They had invited me to come the first time I was in the country a few months ago, but I had no peace about accepting the invitation.

To make a long story short, on December 6th, I went to jail to celebrate my birthday! When I got there, I found that Diablo, the gang leader, had baked me a birthday cake to thank me for coming!

Even better is the fact that Diablo and several hundred of his fellow inmates also had a birthday while I was there, a spiritual birthday that brought them into the family of God. I told him he was going to need a
new name because he wasn¹t a child of the devil any more (Diablo means devil in Spanish)! I wish you could have seen the look on his face.
