URGENT PRAYERS for the CAMP’S FUTURE!!!

I am not sending this particular letter out to many folks just to a few.  I will screen a more general letter later. 

This Friday the village people had their meeting.  They celebrated the signing of contracts with a major state university  to put their university on our property.  They entered the camp (there was a camp going on at the time) under the idea that they needed to look at the water.  Then when they were there they were to put up their corner stone up for the university.  We found ourselves locked in our room upstairs until they left.  Eric was not there and we called the mission director who came from town but arrived 30 minutes after everyone left. 

Even the governor of the area is now involved in the take over and they had another celebration in a city 25 minutes away from camp.  THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM EVERYWHERE AROUND FOR A UNIVERSITY, THEY JUST WANT OURS BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF IT.  IT HAS BUILDINGS, A GYM, BASKET BALL FIELDS ETC. 

The mayors say, “We are MAS, the ruling party, and we can do anything we want our president said so….”

We have had contact with the police again about the mayor who cut the road through our property.  He is on the drug dealers list and that makes us look even more bad in the eyes of the 13 + families involved in the drugs.  Yet, the police still have not followed through. 

This is emotionally draining.  It is spiritually draining as well.  God promises his wrath will be poured out but we need help NOW. 

I am sure he hears the prayers of his Saints.  Please lift us up.
