Terrible Accident in Uganda

URGENT PRAYER NEEDED:
We just received a text message from Eric who is serving with the team in Uganda. The Lord has been blessing with several hundred coming to Christ.

However, there has been a terrible accident involving Brother Agnatius (the coordinator for the Tom Cox World Ministries in Uganda.)  According to Eric, while Agnatius was driving, a 12 year old boy ran out in front of his car and was killed.

The child was the only son of a Muslim family and as can be expected, they are distraught.

A settlement hearing has already been scheduled for tomorrow. (Tonight as we sleep) It has already been determined that Agnatius was not at fault. However, in this country Agnatius will be expected to pay a loss of life settlement.  If the settlement is not paid he will be jailed until it is paid in full.

Agnatius is the father of 8 children himself.  He is devastated.

Please pray for this family.  Only those who have lost a child can imagine the devastation they are experiencing.  Pray too that God (Jehovah God) will be made known and that God might show Agnatius comfort and then favor in this loss of life settlement.

Please understand that no one from our team was involved and everyone is healthy and fine.  Pray for the team as they continue to minister.  They will begin their journey home on Thursday.
