What happened in Africa?
Many have asked: What happened...? From what Steve said this is what happened:
There was a conference scheduled in Tanzania during the first week of the trip(Oct 1-5). Literally 1000's of believers came. Some at great sacrifice to themselves. The area was near the Livingston-Stanley monument, near lake Tangenika close to the border of Burundi. There was some incredible breakthroughs in that area against the religious spirit. Islam is very active and agressive there.
Travel in this part of Tanzania is restricted to daylight only and some parts even then, under police escort. The team, consisting of Margaret(USA), Steve(USA), Joseck(Nairobi Kenya) and Job(Nairobi Kenya) with their driver a born again brother from Nairobi named George, left early to try and make it back to Nairobi by Sunday, two days later.
At about 9:30 am(2:30 am USA eastern standard) they hit a spot in the road, more like a dirt path, with some loose gravel. The vehicle, a brand new four wheel drive van, went out of control and hit a dirt pile next to the road. It flipped tails over head, three times and then came to a stop on it's wheels.
Steve, Joseck, Job and George were in their seats, but Margaret was out of the vehicle. Job found Margaret who was knocked unconscious, her face, mouth and nose full of dirt and blood. They cleaned her face during witch she came to; screaming from the pain. They rebuked the spirit of death over her and later over Joseck as well. He took a heavy blow to the head and chest. Steve broke his collar bone and cruched a vertebrae which made him feel like he had a spinal block.
The locals started coming out of the bushes. Joseck, knowing the possibility of being robbed and assaulted, hollered in Swahili: We are preachers! Please, help us. Someone with a cell phone made a call and shortly after a UN vehicle, there because of the Burundi refugee's, came and picked all of them and their luggage up and took them to a refugee camp nearby where there was a first aid station/clinic.
Ann, an American social worker from Chicago who works with the UN, came and called the embassy who put them in contact with Pat Patton's "Flying Medical Service" who flew them to Nairobi. They were taken to Nairobi Hospital.
The outpour of love, prayer and support of the body of Christ were amazing during all this. In Kenya, our friends Jesse and Diane Grey came down from Eldorett, a 5 hour drive, to be there for them in the hospital. Diane stayed untill Margaret's daughter arrived. Steve and Helen was housed by Angel, a born again travel agent in Nairobi, after his release from the hospital.
We are still counting all the blessings that came out of this.
Miss. Margaret is still in the Hospital in DeSoto, Mississippi. She might be operated on again. But even in this we know that God will work it out for good.
