Newsflash

Today, we were sent home from church! I was at the start of the message when the Pastor rushed up the aisle to stop the service. The military police informed the Pastor that a young lad had been shot in the head in an operation in the 'New District'. The officer informed the Pastor that a policeman had tripped causing his firearm to discharge, hitting an innocent bystander. We were told to go home as a mob of over 2000 had converged on the hospital and was trying to cause a blackout in the area by vandalising the electrical transformers to permit an invasion of the hospital compound. The office feared that the mob would turn its attention to the police station located in front of the Living Word Church.....an thus the order to ‘go home’. A curfew has been imposed, the road where the police station and church are located has been barricaded and well armed police are standing by.
Please pray for Maues, this wonderful little city, the boy and his family and the police officers.
HIS peace, shalom, into a tempestuous situation.
