I received emails from Rhys at Yei this morning,... They have taken the Riso machines out of storage, removed the covers and have taken lots of photos for us. Unfortunately, there is very severe rat damage to both machines. Lots of wires have been eaten and there is substantial rat urine damage. It will be a big job to recover either machine.

I then read from Spurgeons morning devotional the following…

Ezek 36: ³⁷Thus saith the Lord GOD; “I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them;”

And so spent my trip to work praying and thinking about the issues. An hour or two later , when I had a free moment, I called a lady I know from the little local newsletter group at Meningie, South Australia. I knew they had a disused Riso, same model as we are goping to repair in Africa, so I asked if they still had it and would consider donating it to a good cause …. She told me “ Last night, we had a meeting , and discussed what we should do with the old Riso, and decided to give it away to anyone who had a need for it,... it's yours”!!

My prayer was answered before it was asked!!

We now have a complete wiring loom to replace what the rats ate, and any other spare parts we can fit into our 20kg baggage limit!

Praise be to God!
