This is an encouraging story from Kim Cone, missionary colleague, from his visit to G’la with Roy and the others just last week. \u00a0Our visiting group of 5 had had nothing but good visits and interactions with the Sele-ka in control there in our town. \u00a0This story is representative of the state of affairs in our area and is very different from the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

“At the border, I sat in a chair facing the gracious Sele-ka commander. A yard and a half from my left foot lay a man with his face in the dirt, obviously roughed up and with his elbows tied behind his back with a piece of electrical wire. I thought, \u201cSome poor civilian\u201d. …After we chatted awhile, the commander said, \u201cthat is one of ours\u201d! \u201cWhat\u201d, I replied, \u201cYou mean one of YOUR troops\u201d. \u201cYes,\u201d he responded. \u201cHe was hassling civilians and so I put him in my jail for 8 days. Now we\u2019ve just beaten him and we are releasing him.\u201d And with that, they undid the wire and let him return to the barracks not too far away. The hospital personnel had told us that the Sele-ka brass were really cracking down on the misbehavior of their troops and now I\u2019d witnessed it myself.”<\/p>\n

We have been blessed with a law abiding, peace keeping colonel in the Sele-ka forces as our head honcho at Gamboula. \u00a0We are hoping and praying that he will remain in our area and that other regions will follow suit. \u00a0Thank you for praying!<\/p>\n
