We are sorry to report that Anna suffered a house break-in overnight. We praise the Lord that she is at peace. However it was a traumatic experience, so please pray that she will be kept in heart, mind and soul as she processes what has happened.
Three men attacked their compound, tying up the guard and Anna and the neighbours. They then ransacked the houses and took whatever valuables they could find. Although they stole vehicle keys, they did not attempt (or succeed) to take Anna’s vehicle, but did steal phones, laptops, electronics.
Pray:
(1) That she will CONTINUE to know God’s peace.
(2) That she quickly finds a new place to stay – she cannot return to her apartment
(3) For the apprehension of the thieves and recovery the items stolen in the break-in
(4) For replacement of items if they are not recovered
(5) That the Lord will somehow turn this for his glory and the blessing of sinners and the work. This is not the first such experience Anna’s had. In fact, a potentially more deadly experience some years ago eventually led to her salvation. So ALL THINGS work together….
THE LORD IS AT WORK IN MALAWI. But the enemy is very busy. We have seen many times that he attempts to disrupt and unsettle when things are going forward.
