Robbery... but God provides!

Sarah (not her real name) had her bag wound tightly around a hook on her motorbike. She was on her way home when 2 men on a motorbike rode next to her and started pulling at her bag!
It took a couple of tugs before the robbers managed to get the bag. And then they sped off!



Not only did she lose cash, cards & her phone, she also lost the bag itself which was a valued possession amongst many other precious things that were in it.

That night, Sarah had a headache and wanted to reach for her pills, but then realized that they were in the stolen bag! Different items came to her mind as she moaned for her losses, particularly a favorite key-ring that she had.

The next day, she went to the OMF team center, and guess what she found in the mail for her? A new key-ring! A friend from the UK had sent it to her 3 weeks ago, way before she knew what had happened!

Another great praise story: After learning about the robbery, Janet (not real name), another missionary friend here offered to give Sarah her handbag that Sarah really coveted (liked). Sarah asked Janet to consider it carefully as she really did not think she could bear to part with the bag should Janet change her mind!
Some days later, Sarah was thrilled to find that bag in her pigeon hole. Janet had decided to give it to her. Amazingly, on that same day, Janet later found out that she had received a parcel from the UK. Guess what it contained? A spanking new bag of the same brand that she had given to Sarah!

God's provision is so amazing & timely!
