I received the following email from Pastor John in Rwanda. It's a jarring reminder to pray for our brothers and sisters there:
1. Our fellow Pastor, Evariste Mugabo's young brother who grew up and
lived in Tanzania, was attacked by bandits and killed. The same bandits stole
his 35 cows and threw him into the bush in Tanzania where he lived
with his family.
2. Earlier, his mother in law died unexpectedly-she was not sick.
We're still shocked!
3. Same week his brother died, Evariste's mother who had been sick
for long time was dead.
4. Last month, his church's wall was destroyed by the storm.
Yesterday, I came back from his home to pray with him..but do not know
why this happened to Mugabo. However, Evariste's situation, takes me
back to Joab's story.

Back in Chicago, with our former church being nearby Trinity Seminary, we had many friends from Africa and other 3rd world countries. We were especially close to one family from Liberia and one from Nigeria. Their stories put one huge perspective on all that I can and do take for granted in this country.
Thanks for this reminder, and also for this prayer opportunity.
