This week we had a scary moment. One of our good friends and fellow missionaries was held up at gun point. He was stuck in a traffic jam (about 8 AM) and two guys ran up and stuck a gun to his head and took his money, phone, wedding ring and watch.
As they were leaving (about 20 feet away) the man with the gun turned, pointed the gun and fired at the missionary's head. Either God intervened or the man's aim was off, but the bullet dropped miraculously fast and hit the bottom of his car door, and didn't penetrate all the way through.
Uncle Steve is one of our favorite "uncles." We have given him several hugs since the event and he is still a little shook up. He has a great wife and 3 fantastic kids.
We thank God for his safety, and for keeping us safe as well. Nairobi is a dangerous city, but we trust in a Great God.
