On the Second Saturday of every month members from 3 local churches go into Soweto to hand out evangelistic newspapers and the Gospel of John. We are working in an area called Thulani or Snake Park where we have started a Bible study. Today we had almost 20 people (half were teens!) participate in the outreach.
As we returned to the vehicles after our ministry we noticed that the church van had been broken into. A purse was stolen and the ignition was broken.
We did not have a rope or chain to tow the van back to church and it appeared that we were stuck. The problem was simple - we couldn't take the people home and come back with a chain to tow the van because the van wouldn't be there when we returned. But, "Someone knew someone" who could help. Sure enough in a few minutes a red bakkie stopped and offered to help. Within 2-3 minutes the van was running and we were about to head back to the church when someone pointed out that they saw a red bakkie speed away from our vehicles as we approached them after our ministry. Let me see if I have connected the dots correctly.
1) While we're doing ministry someone breaks into our church van and tries to steal it.
2) Our prayers are answered when a man with the ability to hot wire a van just happens by.
3) The man drives a red bakkie - the same vehicle that was seen at the scene of the crime.
if I am not mistaken . . . the guy that tried to steal our van helped us hot wire it so we could get home.
The same thing makes you laugh makes you cry!
