Our broken sign board

Early on Sunday morning, Nov. 5th, there was a terrible head-on collision with an oil tanker and a small bread truck. As far as we know, everyone died. Paul has posted the accident picture on his blog. It is always a sobering reminder to us of the brevity of life and how we need to use every day God gives us to share the gospel. The wreckage of the accident was in the middle of the Mombasa road, directly in front of our mission property. So two lanes of traffic at a time were diverted to our side of the road to get past it. One large truck evidently hit our sign. It is a $300.00 sign! Fortunately Joel just finished fixing a portable welder on Friday and used that to fix it up today. Praise the Lord! Thanks again Steve Branning for the gift of this very useful welder.

Mary Ann,
I enjoy your blog. I was suprised to see Steve's name! I saw pictures of the sign and the wreck on Paul's page. Wow!
You are in our prayers.
