I told you earlier how we had a meeting before church with the church leaders and how they voted to use the offering money to help a family purchase land where they could eventually have a home built.
Well, during that meeting a man rushed into the church and yelled, "A house is burning"! We leaped to our feet and raced up to the smoke to find the 'stove' inside the bamboo home of the above mentioned family had caught on fire and was about to ignite the bamboo. (The entire family was away at the time and would never have known a fire had started until it was much too late.) If that happened the entire home would be gone in minutes! Fortunately God had us assembled close to the house and right beside a water faucet...with spare buckets sitting there empty!!! We all filled a bucket and headed to the house, and as you can guess we were able to extinguish the fire with no damage to the home.
God has a target on this family and it clearly looks as if He's telling them; "despite the fact you got evicted from your previous home, despite the fact that your husband is out of work, despite the fact that it looks as if you will never survive; I'm watching over you!!!"
