God goes ahead of us

Karen Church Camp

I don't think that I've ever been as scared in a car as I was on this trip (o.k. perhaps going 180km in a toyota corolla on a road in South Africa comes close - I wasn't driving!).  The roads were mountainous, steep and narrow.  A few times we slipped backwards down the hill and the student who invited us jumped out of his seat petrified.  He had in this situation before a few years back when some of the other passengers in the car had been killed.

But God went ahead of us, providing a member of the local church to be the driver for the 12 hour journey who had experience in this type of journey in his days in the army.  There is no way that I would have been able to drive like he did.

God worked in many other ways, especially in giving opportunities to train our students and the church members in Bible Storying.

It was not an easy trip with cold showers in the river and no electricity,  but there were many blessings in what God did in us and through us.
