Divide the House

Greetings to all in Jesus name, 

Our family is thankful to have returned home safely this week.   We are glad to be back and settling back in.  Thank you for prayers offered for safe travels.

Over the past week, there have been no further incidents.  The feeling over the past week has been generally positive.  MEBSH was active this week in working in the situation, but we don't have updates yet as to any progress.  There have been no incidents that were 'bad' or 'good', but the general feeling has continued a slow positive upward trend.  We continue in hope, yet also understand this could be a 'lull' in the storm.

The coming week, there is a follow-up meeting scheduled on July 13.    This meeting is intended to include local government officials, MEBSH, our administration team and the representatives of the group from the community.  We need fervent prayer as this week develops.   Some specific requests:  

• That God will continue to soften hearts and minds of those in opposition against the mission and God’s plan for the hospital.  
• That God grants both MEBSH and our Missionary Team grace and Godly wisdom.  
• For Mr. Pheguens and the attitudes in the community toward him.  
• Pray specifically and mightily for the meeting scheduled for July 13.  
• We have a medical team here this week and next week.  Please pray for them in their work as they bring needed services to the patients here.

We see evidence of the prayers of many at work.   This coming week is critically important to be engaged fully in prayer.  

Final thought:   Pray that we stand together, letting God lead, and that satan’s work is divided, so that it shall fall.

Luke 11:17 ….Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. [18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?....
