Pastor Dauda and Ladi Update

Hi Everyone,
Three weeks ago, I shared with you about how our Pastor Dauda and his wife, Ladi, were in an Achoba (motorcycle) accident. Someone sideswiped them and took off, leaving the two of them in the middle of the road hurt and alone. Some one came and took them to the hospital and Pastor Dauda was released after five days. Ladi had to stay two and a half weeks because the sole of her left foot was sliced open lengthwise and she had many stitches and they wouldn't release her until they took the stitches out.

Last week she returned home and for two weeks she is not allowed on her foot so they took the little sofa they had in their living area out and put on the floor a mattress for Ladi to lay on for the two weeks. Someone has very graciously come forward and has paid for the motorcycle to be repaired and for the hospital bills. This is a tremendous burden that has been taken from their shoulders. The pictures I am including are of their motorcycle (can't really see where the damage is - but it's not working, that's for sure) and also pictures of Pastor Dauda and Ladi in their little living space.
Besides this little living room, there is a small little bedroom and their bathroom is outside and their cooking is done outside under a little roofed area. Continue to lift them up in your prayers please.
Crist this coming week will be meeting with Pastor Dauda and the two of them are "going visiting" for Crist to meet the Catholic Priest in the village and hopefully for the three of them to pray together.
In-Joy,
Eileen and Crist
Psalm 37: 40 says, "The Lord helps them and delivers them;he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him."
