In my earlier blog post I neglected to share an important detail!
On Thursday evening, we had our late night prayer meeting, 10pm til midnight, as we always do at the start of the month.
All of our prayer meetings feature a time for testimonies: a time for people to share what God has done in their lives during the day/week. Papa Antoine was the first to ask for the microphone on Thursday night to share his testimony.
He shared the story of the missing cement and total disrespect of the young guy who was at the shop. He emphasised how unacceptable the guy's manner of speaking was in this culture and how in his pre-Jesus days, he would have absolutely exploded and punched the guy. I don't doubt that at all! Even now, in his pro-Jesus days, Papa Antoine is a guy with a lot of energy and passion!
But Praise God, Antoine shared that he now has the love of God dwelling in his heart and he was able to deal with the difficult situation without falling into acts of violence or disrespectful retorts! He seemed almost surprised that he had remained so calm during the dispute and gave all the glory to God for the change that had taken place in his life.
Truly, our God is a good God! May He continue to change hearts in Kandi for His glory!
PS Here are the two tonnes of bricks, made under the watchful eye of a transformed Papa Antoine:
