I talked to Mike this morning (Friday night there- 10 hours ahead of us). He has been feeling sick again. It started the evening before. Lots of stomach distress. Please pray for him to be strong & no trace of any more sickness. He thought he was feeling better, but he also hadn’t eaten anything. No more of this! We agree in prayer together.
He almost missed his flight from Ethiopia to Rwanda. They told him the wrong gate. He was waiting around at that gate (had even asked someone there & they told him to just sit & wait) when he asked someone else he found out he was supposed to be at the other end of the airport! He hustled down there & they said the plane was already gone. He was waiting at the counter while they tried to figure out what to do with him, when the personnel noticed a camera sitting there on the counter. A few minutes later the counter got a phone call- they grabbed the camera & Mike & took off for the tarmac. Apparently someone on Mike’s flight had forgotten the camera, so they ended up holding the plane & Mike was able to board because of that! So thank God for that!
Once he got to Rwanda they got a taxi for him. He asked the taxi driver his name, and the man said “Innocent”. Mike just stared at him in amazement! Just a cool God thing right there.
I also praise God because although we had a serious problem with our TTI website yesterday (appeared to have been hijacked to someone else’s site) & after several hours of wondering what was happening, the web host was able to restore our site.
Thank you for your continued prayers for God’s grace & mercy to be over Michael & Sitaki (who has been healthy- but because of restrictions he had to take a flight to Uganda & is right now riding the bus from Uganda to Rwanda). We pray for God to cover them completely and to prosper this trip- that it would accomplish above & beyond what they have even hoped. For the glory of God. I also appreciate your prayers for the kids & I. KaLia has been pretty emotional- which is how I think the stress of having her dad gone comes out (and I get cranky with the kids).
God bless you as we look forward to the wonderful & amazing things that God is going to do. How awesome that he chooses to use all of us working together to accomplish his work!
