Only Because of His Grace

At about 2.45pm on Wednesday 17th December, we were on our way to Chimoio in Mozambique from Malawi, as we were travelling, we stopped near Guru in Mozambique we were confidante to stop because it was day light to help what we thought were some guys who had broken down, They had stated that they could not get their car started, as requested that we give them some assistant.

We worked with them to see if it was the battery that had failed, but after Terence, had realised that it was not the battery, because their lights were still on in the car, he stated this to them.

at that minute as we were to get back into the car, one of the men, pointed  and shot at point blank range at Terence our driver, who was able to run down the ridge away from the gun men. One of the men chased him, but gave up after some time.  They then attempted to hold Vilma and Sharon in the car, by not allowing us to come out of the vehicle.  We then refused and tried to come out, at which point they dragged us out, and dragged us down the ridge under a bridge and tied us up, both our hands and feet.

We managed to untie ourselves and climb back up, at which point we saw them get into the car and drive off.  We called out to Terence to see where he was, and he had come back to us, his right arm had been hit, and a lot of blood was coming from his arm.

We managed again to get into a passing truck, and we were able to alert the police in the next village, as to what had happen.

When we arrived the police took the details, as Vilma explained what had happened, The police then started to work on trying to find the car.

A report had come through later on, about 2 hours that the car had been spotted, as an accident had happen and it was stuck, one of the guys abandoned the car, as the police attempted to stop him, but this car turned out to be a car that had been stolen on the previous day from another village.

Our Car was eventually recovered the next day in afternoon, when the police had managed to get the guys, one of them were shot and later died in his house, as the house got burnt down.  The car also sustained a bullet hole in the passenger side as the police was chasing the men.

Our documents are safe, but Vilma and Terence clothes are gone, our cameras, iPod, my phone, recording machine have all been taken.

we were able to get things done quickly as the administrator of the village allowed the police to use her vehicle, and we were able to stay at her house, she really did accommodate us very well.

We have the police contact details, if they are able to recover these items.

Before we started the trip to Mozambique, we prayed together with Eddie who was not able to travel with us because his heath was not good. The situation like theses the danger, the death were nearby in such point that we can loss and can be defeat and nobody can helps only GOD and HE did nobody can protect us with such perfection only God

Vilma and Sharon continues their work in special program for the orphans and

We are looking forward to hear from you
