05 Feb Feb. 5 Update on Gonzalo Alas

Jeff Bleijerveld, Director of Global Ministries

After some initial confusion as to whether it was Rev. Gonzalo Alas (right) or his father who had a heart attack, we learned that it was indeed Rev. Gonzalo Alas, pastor and church planter in El Salvador. The confusion came as his son, Gonzalo David Alas, used his father’s email to send us the first prayer request.

Today, I spoke with Pastor Gonzalo’s wife, Gladys. She reported that he is home and will not be requiring surgery. They said all the tests came back fine, and he was told that he simply has a weak heart. He is being treated with medication. The heart episode took place on Sunday, February 3, and he returned home today (Wednesday, February 5).

The family would appreciate your continued prayers for his continuing recovery.
