Last year a friend of mine was in Zimbabwe for a mission trip when that whole election mess was going on. We prayed for a solid week for her group to be able to come home. It was definitely a tense time, but we were also so relieved and thankful when God brought them home safe.April@MySacredSojournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155864494153772363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-46475026367050077492009-03-27T01:48:00.000-05:002009-03-27T01:48:00.000-05:00How often it is that God uses prison situations to...How often it is that God uses prison situations to reach the lost...what seemed like ashes for Eddie, God has indeed turned to Beauty for His kingdom.<BR/>May God richly bless them, and send angels of protection over all who serve in dangerous situations...and may God speak peace to those who wait behind.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865005625060014142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-10390249383682594752009-03-26T22:34:00.000-05:002009-03-26T22:34:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm so, so, so happy for Eddie!
