We are also thanking God for His merciful hand of protection over Heidi, Adriane, and Cheryl. In commute after service, we were sitting in traffic when a man was able to open the rear door where Heidi was sitting and grabbed and began to fight us for her purse. Adriane (riding middle) had her arms around Heidi holding her in the car, Cheryl (riding other side) had her hold also on Heidi's purse and also grabbed her door handle and began slamming the door on the man. I was in the very back and was also holding Heidi in and punching the mans hands and attempting to punch him in the face. Unfortunately, I was not successful... all while the name of Jesus was being screamed in the mans face. It was then that there was made room to move up in traffic, Rusty floors the gas on the vehicle and takes off... man is now running still holding/fighting Heidi for her purse and finally has to let go and we leave him behind. We then get the door locked and I am finally over the seat between Heidi and the door. We are stopped again now in traffic but the man doesn't return.
We are very thankful the man was after a purse and not attempting vehicle robbery or bodily harm with a weapon. Adrenaline is still running.. nerves a little jumpy. Tonight I will hold Heidi a little closer and tighter.
Heading back to Douala tomorrow. Goodnight. We love you. - Jeff
