Recession in the States affects workers here

As the economy slows in the States and heads toward a recession, it has affected the workforce here. A friend from church recently lost his job at the coffee processing plant due to concerns about low coffee sales in the States. The recession in the States will only exacerbate the high level of unemployment here in Nicaragua. In all this, we remember that God is a God of heaven and earth, and is in control of all. However, we are continually challenged in our faith as we see people struggle to buy food and basic necessities. It is easy to say that God is in control when we have food, clothing and a nice house, but to say that God is in control when there is little food and rags for clothes requires an even stronger faith.
