"In peace I will both lay down and sleep for you alone, O Lord, make me
to dwell in safety."
A week and a half ago, I had told you how a clan had joined
with another and [more] people against S and his clan. They
intended to wipe them out and take their land.
Two of the translators are here and they report that S's
hamlet is completely destroyed. The clan, a village surrounded S's clan and burned down all their
houses and destroyed the gardens. S prevailed on his men to shoot
only warning shots, but in the end there was one man who was
killed. S's people were all miraculously delivered. In the middle
of the night, as they were surrounded and fearing for their lives,
S prayed. "Lord your purpose is still pending, please serve us that
we may be able to escape" When he finished praying, he saw a gap in the
enemies' lines surrounding them, and he led his people through that gap
and to safety. The enemies pursued them, but were unable to harm them.
Now, S's clan is staying on land belonging to the neighboring
village.
S is still determined to continue in the way of peace, and to
continue with the translation work.
We are as a community conducting efforts to help S's people start over.
