Last Friday our car was broken into, but God was with us! The passenger window was smashed and only my (Brent's) briefcase was stolen. Only a very little bit of money was stolen and there were no personal records or documents in the briefcase. In fact the thief didn't get much at all! We praise God that no one was hurt during the burglary which took place in the middle of the day. However, we have been working for the last week to even find a replacement for the broken passenger side window. “Import car” is taking on a new meaning here in Swaziland. It’s much harder to find parts here.
We are working with hospital administration to complete the Bhalekane project and look to the future on ways that teams can continue to contribute to the work here.
We are also preparing for the arrival of the container full of medical equipment sent by BFC, which should arrive sometime in October.
Thank you for your prayers, and please continue to lift these needs before the Lord:
- Please pray for Swazi Leaders we work with the Districts, Region, Hospital, Government
- Please pray for our friend Sizwe that God will continue to protect him as he works as a kombi driver and protects his spirit as God has called him to serve in some exciting ways in Swaziland.
- Pray that we would quickly find the right replacement for our car window.
- Please pray for continued good communication and quick action on the Coca-Cola water project that is now under way.
- Please continue to praise the Lord with us for the safety and providence that God has provided as we move around the country.
Hi, Brent and Michaele,
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us informed! We pray for you. God does work ... everywhere and in all things, doesn't He! Keven prayed a simple prayer that He will provide a window for your car....
I believe God hears his to the point requests.
May you continue to know His Presence and Peace. Keven and Janice
Hey,
ReplyDeleteOur car got broken into a couple of nights ago too. Well actually since we didn't lock our car I guess you can't say it was broken into. The only thing that took was the CD player out of the Honda, but they were really nice about it as they did it without hurting any other part of the car. But anyway since we share a common experience, every time I want to turn my radio on in the car I will be praying for you two.
We miss you two greatly! We are so proud of you and thanks for your vote of thanks in the newer post!
