Ron, I hope you read this thread. The missionaries who were attacked by machetes in Kitale are here. I met the wife; the husband is still in the hospital here in Nairobi. I will get on here later and let you know the whole story, but they are a complete miracle and they have the greatest attitude and cannot wait to get back to Kitale to work with the orphans. They had only been missionaries for four months!! It was so good to meet her after reading the article you posted on my Kenya thread. I was able to tell her that I'd already been praying for them.

I'll be back with "the rest of the story"!!!

Wow, that is amazing!

I know my Pastor preached about the attitude these missionaries had in regards to this incident and thier attackers.

They said, "We forgive them!"

That is a tremendous attitude!

We are praying for them!
