urgent prayer request

Please be praying for Maggie and her team. They were crossing over into Mozambique, and were stopped and told to get off their bus. They were told their visas were only 30 day visas, and they had been in the country for 35 days. Their passports were confiscated and they were declared illegal aliens. They were getting their things off the bus, and Maggie's backpack with her laptop was on the top (double decker) and a man, who was angry because they were delaying the bus, threw it at her, hitting her in the nose. Her nose was bleeding and she hit her head on the railing. This man followed them off the bus, yelling and had to be chased away. They were in immigrations for 6 hours before YWAM got them out. They are now safe on a YWAM base, but are being told they have to pay $300 each in order to get their passports back, and leave the country. YWAM does have emergency funds to front them.

More updates from Maggie

Good morning! I just got an update from Maggie. She got 15 minutes at the internet cafe. They are safely in Maputo, Mozambique, at the YWAM base. There are 20 of them in a house, sharing 1 bathroom. They traveled one day in the back of a pick up truck, 42 people! It's 120 degrees. They are sharing the Gospel and seeing results. They plan to go to South Africa on the 22nd of January, return to Hawaii on March 6th, and then she should be back in Indiana on March 15. She is writing things down to share. Thanks for all you've done and please keep her in your prayers!
