MEHANNA ROAD

Post by Marc from Songhai Team (September Update)

I have some information that I would like for you to share with all of the Hurst Church:

 Abdourahaman shared that last week his motor cycle was broken down and they were walking to do visits.  They thought they had timed it right to get back before the rain and had asked God to keep them dry until they were finished.  It started pouring and they were far from the house they were staying in – out in the bush heading back.  Abdourahaman started to complain to Lawaly, does God not know what is happening to us.  He let our motorcycle break down and now He is allowing the rain to come before we can make it home.  Does He not care?  Does He not see what is happening?  They continued on home in the rain, wet and tired from the walk.  Abdourahaman was not happy that all the non believers were home, in their houses not getting wet. It was only he and Lawaly that were out in the rain.  When they got home, they saw that the rains had made the house where they were staying cave in.  If they would have been home, both would have lost their lives.  Lawaly said, “Well, I do guess that God knows and cares where we are.  Look what He just saved us from?”  They both rejoiced in God’s provision.  The village gathered to see the house and began to ask why they had been spared?  Lawaly took the chance to tell how God had promised to be with them ‘even until the end of this age” and many started to understand that these men were bringing truth. 

 Lawaly shared that they are now welcome in every village, by the chief and the people.  He said that the people hold them in great respect.  He said this is because of the work that FBC Hurst has done.  He said that all are talking about the amazing work that you have done in the schools, clinics, shot clinics.  He said that they marvel that white people have come and done the work and that they have given so kindly to each village.  He said that your trips, giving and work have opened the door for the Gospel to be shared along the Mehanna Road. 

 In His Love
