10-9-12: One of Many Ways God Takes Care of Missionaries


How does God take care of missionaries? In many ways. The one that I think about a lot is in travel. The other day my husband was flying in (the only form of travel we have except walking 3 days) with a load of supplies. It had been a really nice day but the rain moved in while he was in flight here. They came close enough to see the airstrip and started to descend. The heavens opened up and poured out heavy rain. Almost at the point of no return they pulled up. They did a low fly over the airstrip but at the head of our airstrip are mountains. They looked as though they could reach out and touch them. Then they zoomed right over the house. I was sure they were going to hit a mountain. I was crying and praying out loud! The Lord answered and although he had to divert and overnight at another place, he made it safely home in the morning.

Now my husband says he did think "Lord is this your time for me to go?" He says though his heart rate never went up. If that would have been me I would have been in stroke zone or heart attack at least! For those who know my Mister Steady husband they can imagine that to be true!

Thank you Lord for safety!!
