ATV Fire
The next thing is quite a bit sadder. Do you remember the quad bike (ATV) that we were able to fly into Yabus? We had just sold it to our Yabus colleagues when it met with an accident. It was parked under a grass, wood, and bamboo shelter after church. One of the children was playing with fire and, well, burned down the shelter with the ATV inside.
No one was hurt but the $10,000 quad bike is a total loss. It’s sad for a lot of reasons, the largest being that it was a great tool for preaching and evangelism. Please pray that a divisive situation would not result because the child of one of our colleagues was responsible. We don’t care so much about the loss – it’s only stuff. We just don’t want Satan to use the resultant bad feelings to divide any of us from the other. Please help all our team to look past the monetary loss to love and forgive one another (John 13:34, 35) and to praise God that no one was hurt.
If you like to be a part of providing around $12,000US for a new one, please write and let us know.
