Lost and Found

Have you ever been lost? Maybe it was as a child, losing your parent's hand at the store or perhaps you were driving and your GPS wasn’t working. One Sunday afternoon, my husband decided to go out for a bike ride in the "bush" telling me he would be back in about 2 hours. Once it became dark I got a call from him and he asked me to try to come meet him. There was no sign of him at our rendezvous point...I call again...he answers out of breath, out of water, and in the dark with a phone that is about to die and says he is completely lost. He was heading to a light and had to cross an old rock quarry in the dark and ran into 2 large fences. Trying to save himself, he had thrown his bike over the smaller of the two fences that had layers of barbed wire and scaled it himself and was stuck inside with no more energy to go any further. Long story short, the fence that was scaled belonged to the main diamond company. In the process of trying to save himself, he wound up in police custody (they take diamond property very seriously here).

This is the story of the gospel...lost, no way to get out. Please continue to pray for those who are lost here in Botswana and without a Savior trying to save themselves. My husband was so lost that night, but thankfully he returned home after 9 hours, scraped up but safe. Thankfully all charges were dropped!
