If you read our April newsletter, you had the treat of
seeing Bob’s miraculous testimony. (if you haven’t read it yet, you really
should!) The very same day that we emailed the testimony out to hundreds of
family & friends back in the US, Bob and Windy’s home was broken into here
in China. We could only conclude that this was an attack from the enemy trying
to steal the joy of sharing Bob’s story and the effect we knew it would have.
But God takes bad, and makes it so good!
We were on the phone with Windy for a long time the night of
the break-in, as she waited for the police to check the house, get things back
in order, etc. She was obviously shaken. In the end, however, not one thing was
taken from their home! She had computers and cameras in a locked bedroom and
the thieves didn’t even get into that room. In addition, Bob and Windy prayed
together for the first time that night in their living room, and decided to set
up a routine of praying together from that day forward. They not only prayed
for their house to be protected, but they also prayed for the thieves to come
to know Jesus and to be forgiven! She texted me to say ‘Bob and i have started
to pray together. We love God so much now’. We were so moved to see
God bring such beauty into their lives from such a scary situation. In
addition, the following Friday during our bible study, Bob declared “satan can get into our house, but he cannot get into my heart and steal my
joy".
