Dear Pastor,

Greetings in the name of the soon coming King. I am writing to tell you about a problem that I have been having from November 2005 with a man who I became associated with through my children's father. He gave me US$20 and a J$500 counterfeit to use. However, I did not know that it was counterfeit because if I had known I would not have taken it.

Moreover, it was dark and he folded it and gave it to me. It was raining at the time.

I cried night and day because of that wicked boy. My boyfriend was so upset when I told him what had taken place. He wanted to beat him but I was unable to find him that particular day. I read Psalm 100 for him, every day. The situation is now at court. However, since the court case has begun, he has never showed up to tell his side of the story. The court has sent out a warrant for his arrest. I told the judge that I would like the case to stop because it is stressing me out. I am six months pregnant and it is also stressing out my baby boy and my first son too.

I was admitted to the hospital for bleeding and high blood pressure. I spent eight days to the hospital and I had to do an ultrasound to determine what was wrong with my baby. I am now awaiting the results. I believe that something is wrong with the pregnancy. Please pray for me, while I pray for myself that everything will be ok for me and my baby.

I believe it is the wicked man who has caused this to happen to me and my baby. I was once a Christian, baptised for four years, and then I came out of the church. Now I am going back to church to worship God, as well as classes to renew my soul once more to God.

That guy is worthless. He was going to a HEART in Falmouth but he stopped and never got to finish the course. He would have finished the course by now, if he had not stopped. But he does not seem to care about himself. My children's father wanted to beat him but he was not at his house. He needs professional help because he does not want to work. He is idle and all he does is smoke marijuana. Pray for him as well. He also has a brother in prison.

Dear R.A.,

I am sorry to know that you have had to suffer from stress and that you had to go to court because you were found with counterfeit money. I cannot comment on the one you have alleged gave you the money. I hope everything will go well for you and your baby.

I am glad that this man was not found when your boyfriend went in search for him. He might have got himself into trouble. I am pleased to hear that you plan to return to church, my prayers are with you.

Pastor
