God's protection!

We have canals that run through our village here in La Digue. The canals are a part of everyday life. They use the canals to bathe in and wash their clothes; they drink the water and cook with the water.

At some places the water moves very quickly and can be very dangerous. After it rains the water rushes even more strongly.

On Sunday a woman shared about her baby. She told us that she had gone to Port-au-Prince and left her children at home with someone. One of her children, a small boy only one and a half years old was playing by the canal when he fell in! He was drug by the water down the canal a ways before someone was able to rescue him. Praise God he was safe. The boy survived with only a few scratches on his little body. When the woman shared in church she cried as she praised God for his faithfulness in sparing her sons life. She knows that life along the canal can sometimes be very dangerous so she was beyond grateful to be holding her son in her arms as she shared her testimony.
