Greetings of love in the name of Jesus Christ,
It has been an eventful week for the mission at Hôpital Lumière in Bonne Fin. There have been up's and down's. Today was a particularly challenging day for our missionary team. Today involved a return to work for Mr. Pheguens as well as a follow up meeting with national and local government leaders, MEBSH Leadership, community members and our team.
The meeting was positive in some respects, but further revealed how our enemy has been working and attacking. The element of the community that has been stirring up trouble has taken positions that are based on half truths and self-centered desires. Some of their demands are put forth with total unreasonableness.
While Mr. Pheguens was able to return to work today, his return was met with vandalism to the hospital vehicle that he drives. A group of very angry people again put forth unreasonable demands and threats directed at him.
Please continue to pray for reason and God's peace to reign as our missionary team engages in dialogue with the various parties involved.
Please pray as well for our staff, and especially those most directly affected by these events.
Please pray for our missionary team on-site: Lee and Desma, David and Janella, Kurt, and Sheila.
Your prayer warfare is evident. God is at work. During the events of these past two weeks we have seen some of our highest patient numbers continue in the hospital. Despite satan's efforts, people are still finding help and care at Hôpital Lumière. His name is being glorified.
We'll close with this scripture from Matthew chapter 10: [26] Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. [27] What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. [28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
