Update on Stolen Van

I received this email from my brother in law this morning in regards to the stolen van.

Yesterday was the perfect description of “Good day – Bad day”

The good happened throughout the morning while our church celebrated its 12 anniversary in a public sports facility. The songs, specials, preaching, meal, and games were all wonderful and everyone enjoyed participating. We had 10 visitors and an attendance of 125.

The bad happened while cleaning and loading up afterwards ~ our van was stolen. We thank the Lord that no one was threatened, traumatized or injured. Our van was used as the churches workhorse for all the activities of the church and for our personal needs as well.

I can’t tell you how much this hurts. I realize that it is just a vehicle that was 14 years old, with high mileage and burning a little bit of oil. But with all the difficulties that are occurring here in the country, this incident just amplifies the frustration.

Debbie and I were counting on traveling with the van to Caracas to fly out of the country for a two week speaking visit to the United States. For a while, it did not look as though we would be able to leave, however, we were able to work out the travel details at the last minute. Though the trip is still happening, pray that the children will be fine with my brother and his family during our short visit.

Please pray for the van to be found and returned, and pray for our family.
