HAIL!


It made us think of the plague on Egypt.

Yesterday the biggest hail I've ever seen blasted down on the Mbabane area.

The very first hailstone that fell in our yard was as big as a softball--and they kept coming for about twenty minutes. Almost every dwelling and every unprotected car was damaged--some cars were totaled.

Please pray as the Children's Cup team assesses the damage to our vehicles and CarePoints. (The Toyota Condor we are using is now unsafe to drive.)

People here are likening the damage and impact of the storm to Katrina.

Please pray that God gives us a clear course through the insurance maze and leads us to the right repair people that can actually get the parts. This did not surprise Him--He knows the way through the mess.

Please pray for the tens of thousands of Swazis whose meager resources cannot cope with this disaster.

The Book of Revelation talks about even larger hail--how horrible that will be.
