On Tuesday morning we got a message saying that one of our best friends dad has been abducted and please can we pray for his safe return - their world was turned upside down and all we could do is pray!!!! Today we went to visit our friends and while we were there they got a call saying their dad has been found - 3 days later!!!! It seems he was pushed over kloof gorge and it just so happened two students were filming something and heard Bruce calling them!! He called out his wife's cell number and they call Les and said we have found your husband - my goodness!!!! After 3 days of all round prayer all our prayers had been answered!!
We went to kloof gorge and they had a rescue team getting Bruce back up from the 30 meter drop where he was stranded - my goodness!!! 3 days and 2 nights out there all alone - thank you Lord for getting those guys to film where they were and in turn rescue Bruce!!
We had to leave to fetch Ollie before Bruce and the rescue team had come up but know that he is in hospital and seems to be doing well! I am not sure of the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping but we'll know soon!
While we were chatting to Wayne about his dad that was missing at the time he said that he would not accept that his dad would not come back - he had such HUGE faith that God would return his dad to him - i get the shivers just thinking about how in his darkest hour he KNEW that God would return his dad to him!! Kim said she kept praying for Bruce's return and she felt God say to her "wait my child, in My time not yours" and peace came over her - now this is what they told us BEFORE they knew their dad was ok - what a testimony!!! I am blown away by their faith in their Father God!!
Thank you Lord for bringing Bruce home to his family!!!! It was such a huge privileged to be there when the call came in saying he was found - seeing the love and joy on the family's face knowing their precious dad, brother, husband, brother etc has been found!!
I so look forward to seeing how God is going to use this story for his glory - Wayne and Kim's testimony alone is such an inspiration to me personally!
Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing Bruce home!
