Need for Prayer
I received this urgent email yesterday from Prasad and Dawn Samson. You may know that they live in India and have been to Northview before they moved to India. Our 39 the Second Time came to know them well.
Dear Friends,
As you know when the kingdom of God begins to grow Satan becomes very angry. Over the past few weeks God has been really blessing our ministry. At the same time our family has been under the enemies attack.
To start the story, Dawn had developed an infection on her left little finger. The doctor advised us that she should remove the nail since the infection had spread under her nail. We wanted to wait until after Easter to remove it. The plan was to remove the nail on Monday the 17th. On Monday I received a call from one of our Church planting team members concerning a possibility of planting a church in a village called Singaperuman Koil .We changed the plan and decided to make a visit to the village, Dawn and the children decided to stay home.
After returning from the village I stopped at my parent’s home to talk about planting the church. While I was there the sky became very dark and it started to rain with heavy thunder and lighting. Suddenly a bolt of lighting struck my parents house. Inside of the house turned red for a second and there was a loud noise like something breaking. As soon as it finished we started to look around to see if everyone was O.K. Everyone seemed to be alright and then we noticed one of our staff (Amos ) lying on the floor he had been struck by lighting. Amos had been standing right behind me and had been trying to close a window. He was unconscious for over an hour. The lightening was so strong that all the electrical and electronic equipment in my parent’s house has been burned out and the roof was damaged. (The photo is of Amos and his wife. )
The next day Amos was not feeling well so I decided to take him to the hospital. Again Dawn and the girls stayed at home, this was very unusual because about 90 % of the time we travel together. I drove the vehicle to the hospital and on our way back my breaks failed and we hit a bus. Thank the Lord we did not get hurt but the vehicle was badly damaged in the front. One miraculous thing was Amos who usually sits in the front passenger seat when I drive went and sat in the back seat. I did not ask him why he went to the back. The front passenger side was hit and received the most damage, thank the Lord he decided to sit at the back this one time! He could have been badly hurt.
The spiritual battle is so real and so strong we face this kind of things on a regular basis. Please keep our family and Staff in your everyday prayers. Please pray for Amos as of today he is emotionally and physically ill. He is suffering from muscle contractions and is in the hospital as we right this letter to you.
Soon we will be releasing our news letter and you can see why the enemy put up this kind of fight.
In Him
