Update on Prayer Request

I just want to thank everyone for praying for my brother and sister-in-law.  God is good!

Just an update on Ron and our situation.

We have had several churches that have offered to help replace the money
that  was taken.

We want to thank each and every one of them. Also, I want to think
everyone  for your prayers.
Ron is still in a lot of pain. The doctor has him taking morphine so he is
sleeping a lot.

In the morning we take him to another town for the cat scan as they do not
have the equipment here. The doctor thinks he may have a crack in the
front of  the skull from being hit in the face with a rock. Please pray
that this is not  the case. If it is they say they cannot treat it here so
we would have to  leave the country for treatment.

We had a wonderful surprise today. Ron and I were at the doctors most of
the  day. They were giving him some intravenous fluids and keeping him
under  observation.

Some friends of ours that own some businesses here in Arusha talked to the
man that owns the house we are going to rent and got him to let us move
in  today. They said that they would guarantee the money until we got it.
They rented a truck and about thirty Maasai and Warusha from our church in
the village came into town and moved all our stuff to the new house and
set  everything up. When we went home the house was empty and everything
was at the new  house.

Seven young Maasai warriors are staying on in our yard and several of them
accompany me anytime I have to go to the store or anywhere. They are
fully armed  with bows, arrows, spears, and knives. So I am not as afraid
of going places.  What an outpouring of love. These Maasai, elders, women,
and warriors were  crying tears over what happened. The elders asked if
they could build a hut in  our back yard so there would always be warriors
on the property and to escort  us anywhere we have to go.

When I asked them why they would do this, they said that Ron was there
shepherd and we brought them Jesus Christ and nothing they could do could
every  repay us for that.
God is so good even in the most trying of times.
