I talked to Isaac this morning and just received this email.
- A family received the Lord in a village called Shaibu-pe and died the following day, about 9 people. This is an account of the deaths.
- One of the new converts from Kadelso went to his people in a village called Shaibu-pe and announced Christ to them by telling stories that he has also been hearing. The family of eight, all Gonjas and one Sisaala man and two Fulanis accepted the message and asked for a church to be started in their village.
- The following morning the woman of the house was cooking beans and went down to the river to wash a few clothes as they lived very close to the river. Then she sent a nine year old boy to put salt pitre in the food. Where the salt pitre was, was also the powdered form of a chemical that is used to kill rats and insects. The child by mistake put this chemical in the food thinking it was the salt pitre (salt pitre is a product that is alkalinic in nature that makes hard foods like beans cook faster). The family came and ate and were all poisoned. They were rushed to the hospital where eight died. Three are still at the hospital, but in coma. Among those in coma is a nursing mother with about seven month old baby.
- The guy who took the gospel to them is also a member of that family but he lives in Kadelso about three kilometers away. He was also served the food but before he returned from the farm to eat his food the people were already dying so he sensed the danger was in the food and did not eat.
- We are visiting those in coma at the hospital.
- It is sad but God is still good. Our visits and love we show make people to see and talk about the love of God displayed through the believers.
- Pray with us as usual.
- Isaac
