Prayer Works
a story from Belle's Bandwagon

It was another hot day in the country of Haiti. Today was extra special though! Today, missionaries David and Raeleen Bustin, along with their children, Jonathan, Joshua, Joel, and Rebecca, were taking a much needed "family time break."

The ocean shore was beautiful. The waves lapped peacefully as the children were splashing and swimming, enjoying the fun time. Mama Raeleen, and Daddy David, kept an eye on the children, enjoying the fun day together. Out beyond the swimmers, boats circled in the water. Mama Raeleen began to notice that one boat kept coming in closer, and closer to the swimmers. All of the sudden the boat came in fast! Jonathan was swimming underwater, and the boat was headed STRAIGHT for him!

"Stop, stop!" They shouted at the driver. "Swimmers, swimmers! Stop! Jonathan!"

Mr. Doug Kline was back in America. He was working his construction business when suddenly his watched beeped. It was 1:00 P.M. - time to stop and pray for the Missionary David Bustins family. And so, he did. He prayed . . . and as he prayed . . .

THE BOAT STOPPED! When Jonathan raised his head from his underwater swimming, he was literally right by the boat. He had no idea how close he had come to serious injury, or possible death.

Later, when the missionaries made contact with their friend Doug, they realized he was praying at the exact time the situation happened. PRAISE GOD! Miles and time change don't confuse our God and HE ANSWERS PRAYER!

This is a TRUE story that happened just last year! Children, your prayers matter! Pray for the missionaries from your church - and if you need a special missionary to pray for, we can help. Just write and let us know.
