Roy checking out the attic, peeking through the ceiling
note the chair on the chair to get back up into the attic to escape
This time (the fifth big robbery in about 3 weeks’ time between the mission and CEFA farm) the thieves broke into our home while we were at church. Some skinny, tall guy used the anti-theft rerod bars on the windows as a ladder and squirmed through the small space between the roof and the wall under the eaves. Our neighbors heard noise, called the sentry and came over to check and saw nothing wrong with all the doors and windows. They thought the noise should have come from the outside, never suspecting it had been someone’s foot crashing through the ceiling. Thankfully the thieves didn’t take any computers, cameras, hard drives, nor my iPhone etc., just cash, Roy’s wallet with just local currency in it (no IDs, thankfully) and a cheap cell phone. They put a chair on top of a chair (see photo) to get out the way they had come in. Roy’s CEFA petty cash box took a big hit, and so did our peace of mind. Thank you for your prayers, for all who have been robbed, and for those doing the robbing, that God would touch their hearts and lives.
Our son was painting a verse on the lintel of his carport when they heard the news of the theft, and it is the perfect encouraging word for us – I am still confident that I will see the goodness of the Lord!
