" Thus far the Lord has helped us!"
1 Samuel 7:12
We woke up at 6:00 am on Sunday to drive all the way to Kenya. Google Maps said that the trip would take about 8 hours, we assumed that it would be closer to 10 hours because we were travelling as a family... We had been travelling for 11 hrs two of which we had spent crossing the border ( we were still about 2 hrs from Tenwek Hospital which was our final destination, Dad had a pastors conference which was being hosted there) when the heating gauge for the engine started fluctuating between normal and over heating. Dad then called an emergency prayer meeting, we all prayed and while we prayed it stayed on normal. As son as we had stopped praying ( out loud ) the gauge started up again. Pretty soon Dad had to pull over, he called the mechanic in Kampala and the guy said that we should carefully try to put more water in the radiator. O, have I mentioned that we are travelling with the bishop of Africa Gospel Church Uganda ( He was also going to the pastors conference.) So.. the bishops wife and son, Aubrey and myself were sitting in the middle row of the car, we had to get out and stand in the side of the road in the middle of no ware. Thankfully dad did not get burned ( because we were all praying nonstop ) as he poured more water in to the radiator. After we had all gotten back in the car and dad started driving agin ( very slowly.) I did not stop praying until we reached the gate of Tenwek. Thankfully when were stuck some friends of ours the Roberts knew so when we finally got to Tenwek ( at 8:30pm) they had prepared a meal for us. We ate and went right to bed! Jesus protected us and showed us that prayer is a VERY effective.
"Bwana Asifiwa " ( Praise the Lord in Swahili. ) Thank you all for praying and caring our family as we keep on trusting Him to lead us on the right paths!!
Much Love, Elsie Jayne
