It was getting just too dark to work, and I was thinking I’d have to put a light on to see the window casings even though it was still early in the afternoon.
Suddenly, the rain came down in such a torrent that I couldn’t see from the garage back to the house. It was deafening. Then, the power went out. Not too long after, it got really quiet and the skies began to lighten up again. Our corded phone rang and it was my son Deryk, calling from his work site about an hour away. “You guys okay? We heard on the radio that there were tornadoes in Durham!”
I turned on my transistor radio to hear the latest news. Tornadoes in Durham! I got in my truck and headed into town – just a few kilometers away – to see if I could help out.
That night we washed up in the stream just like real missionaries π But electricity and water were soon restored, and the clean-up and repair in town has begun.
- Please be praying for the students and teachers at the missions’ training camp Academy, where the children of staff and missionary candidates go to school. They will be using offices and other buildings while the Academy is being repaired.
