Prov 3:26 “The Lord will be your confidence and keep your foot from being caught.”
After the conference Bud had to return to Mozambique to pick up his son Luke who had been staying with some friends in the city of Maputo. Upon arriving at the border we were told that it was required to so the title to the vehicle. This was surprising because we had already entered and exited Mozambique previously and it had not been an issue. Bud and I appealed to the border guard and plead out case, we had to retriever Luke and we couldn't get even a copy of the title. And after many words and prayers the guard chose to allow us through much to our joy and relief. We arrived at the house of Bud's friends, Eva and Martinio without further difficulty and had a delightful visit. Martinio shared with us the needs for pastoral training. We were surprised to meet two gals from Sweden who were there to give talks about adoption and Eva was going to interprete for them. God is always doing something!
Well then came part two of the adventure. While pulling out of the parking, Bud realized that he didn't have Luke's passport. How to cross the border back into Swaziland??? We'll long story short, the guard stopped us and asked if Luke had stamped out of the country. We had to confess that no he had not and his passport was with his mother, hours away. After many words and pleadings, Bud told the man he had been a pastor for 30 years and he would swear before God that these things were true. The guard asked Luke if Bud was really his father, with that testimony the guard let us through. Praying your way through border crossings is such a help, God gave us favour in the eyes of the border guards twice, AMAZING!
