This last week has been one of those weeks where one wonders what else could happen!
We had a literal burnout! The wire from our line selector box turned RED with 380 Volts and smoked up the studio!
Samuel and Feza quickly turned off the connection, but several meters of cable had to be replaced with three new interrupter fuses in the fuse box.
Needless to say, Kathy and I Look for the Appearing of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ, Who will change us to His Likeness as He translates us to His Newest Normal!
Watchman's Son Shot!
Our night watchman came to work and told us his son, Zeph, had been shot and that robbers went to his son's house to loot all the goods he had for his transport and trading business between Bukavu to Fizi. This is his only source of income to keep their family fed.
Soon, the word came from Fizi Territory that the doctors there couldn't handle the bullet in his back and the burns from three bullets that grazed his stomach! So, the only solution was to get him here to the General Hospital in Bukavu!
Before that happened, word came that somebody had a car and drove Zeph to a hospital in Fizi, but they couldn't help him. Then, word came that the next day another driver agreed to take him to another hospital where they thought he might get help. But, alas, that wasn't to be either! They tried another place, and always the same answer, no help, too complicated! So, after another few days, and some more rides, they finally made it here to Bukavu after a week on the road! All the while, the bullet was still lodged in his back!
The doctors want the wound to heal up more before they sew him up, (this is two weeks later) and the burns are healing nicely, so that's good news! The doctors are just amazed that this young mansurvived all the trauma!

We know that the Lord still has some work for this young man to do, as his father, who is a pastor, says that he's a wonderful evangelist and that he loves the Lord and everyone around him knows of his great testimony for the Lord! Zeph says that he will be praising the Lord for the rest of his life, wherever he goes, and sharing of God's amazing care for him!
AMEN
