Otto

Today I met an elderly man named Otto. He owns a ceramic store here in Stockerau that's been in business for over 100 years. But he's closing it down...

because he just lost his best friend, his wife of 63 years, Helga.

And I just met him today, but in responding to my simple but concerned questions, he wept and turned away.

He can't eat.

He's alone.

He doesn't know how to keep going in life with this loss.

I invited him to join our team for breakfast but he's busy closing down his store. Please pray that if it's God's will, He makes a way to establish a connection with Otto and that myself and my team can bring the comfort of God to him!
