Dear :
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers, and for the outpouring of love and concern we have received from many of you who receive email from us.
My son, Steven, and Staff Evangelist Dan Grindstaff are safe and okay, and begin their trek home tomorrow morning, "Africa time." We are so grateful for God's quick response to our prayers, and for His mighty hand at work to extinguish the flaming missiles of the evil one!
Steven and Dan are rejoicing that God counted them worthy to be persecuted for preaching the Gospel and the Name of Jesus Christ! They were arrested and even threatened with three years in jail; the immigration officials who detained them also demanded money for their release. But God used some friends in "high places" to secure their release and have them returned safely to the capital city.
We are praising the Lord for their safety and praying that many will be saved as a result of the Gospel that was preached in that place, where more than 90% of the population is of a culture that does not believe in the One True and Living Jehovah God. Steven and Dan report that the Baptist pastors with whom they were working became even more determined and "fired up" to continue the work of sharing the Gospel in their area as a result of this trial!
Please continue to pray for the next three days, at least until Tuesday afternoon (August 24,) Texas time, for Dan and Steven, until they are safe and sound here at our home in Texas.
I am so glad that I get to be...
Your friend and partner in the Gospel,
David
