Lost and Found

So this weekend we all experienced a heartbreaking phone call asking us to pray for the containers that were supposed to be arriving in Lilongwe (full of things for the new hospital). We received word a while ago that the two containers had been split up and were going different routes. Now they were telling us that one of the containers had been broken into, completely trashed, and was now in China... after many prayers were spoken and many tears were shed, Kari, who has been in charge of the containers from the beginning, started researching and realized that our container's identification number did not exactly match the number on the container in China. Somehow they had mistaken the 'broken into container' in China for ours, when in fact, our container was no where near there and was completely intact! Praise God! Here is the email Kari wrote yesterday afternoon:

"We had a moment of crisis this morning, but I am happy to report we are back on track. Our 40 ft. container will arrive on the ABC (African Bible College) campus possibly as we speak (sometime this weekend). We have found the 20 ft. container and it is in customs in Beira, hopefully to arrive while Forrest (our electrician) & Virginia Lange are there. Lets pray that God will open doors for Forrest so he and Virginia will be able to accomplish everything he has planned. 1 more mountain climbed before we take off... Glad to be a part of this team, Kari"

Thanks Kari, for all your hard work dealing with the containers! We are all glad that you are a part of this team too! :) And thanks God for keeping the containers safe! Maybe this little scare helped us to remember that You really do have this planned out! We need to trust You!
